WATCH: Former Texas K Dusty Mangum recounts game-winning kick against Michigan in 2005 Rose Bowl

In the lead-up to the 2006 Rose Bowl, the Texas Longhorns and Michigan Wolverines met on the football field for the first time in 2005 in Pasadena. In a thrilling game, the game came down to the wire when veteran kicker Dusty Mangum kicked a last-second field goal attempt that narrowly missed the goal post, giving the Longhorns a 38-37 victory over the Wolverines.

This week, as Texas and Michigan prepared for the second game between the two top-tier college football teams in Ann Arbor, Mangum recounted the legendary moment with KVUE's Bob Ballou.

When Mangum took the field in Texas, the self-professed fan of the football movie “Rudy” never imagined he would be carried off the field. But that's exactly what happened on the final field goal attempt of his four-year career as a kicker for the Longhorns after winning the Rose Bowl and finishing with 358 points scored, second in school history for most points scored by a kicker and fourth overall.

Just attempting the final kick wasn't easy – Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr called his last two timeouts to put Mangum on the ice, whereupon the Texans kicker sang a Hoobastank song during the first timeout that had stuck in his mind because he had listened to it on his iPod before the game.

Just one chance is all I ever wanted

I just want to win the game once

From now on I will take the chance if I can get it

Just one, just one

During the second timeout, Mangum turned his attention to his coaches and teammates.

“I thought at that moment, I’m doing this for these guys, my teammates, they’ve been here for four years. My trainers, coach [Mack] Brown, coach [Jeff] “Madden, all the coaches that have contributed to my career and my development, not only as an athlete but as a person. And I thought I was doing this for them,” Mangum told Ballou.

Meanwhile, punter Richmond McGee tried to tell Mangum a few jokes. What Brown told his kicker was more poignant.

“You are the luckiest man in the world,” Brown told Mangum. “You get to be the hero of the Rose Bowl.”

The Texas kicker had mentally prepared himself for two scenarios: either kick five field goals and be named the Rose Bowl's Most Valuable Player, or only manage one field goal attempt at the end of the game.

Mangum was faced with the latter scenario, and his kick sparked one of the most memorable celebrations in Texas football history.

“It was pure celebration,” Mangum said. “It was pure, pure, pure euphoria, happiness, not just for us as a program, but for all the fans. I mean, what a monumental moment in the history of Texas football and I'm just grateful and happy to have been a part of it.”
