I think you're going for Brandon Hancock, who started at FB.

I would say Ryan Kalil started, and i don't know who many sacks they got but I will say 2.

Dallas Sartz and I'm pretty sure Michigan only had one sack.

Dallas Sartz started at SLB in the 2004 Rose Bowl.
And Michigan has one sack.

My guess would be Brandon Hancock or Hershel Dennis

Brandoh Hancock was the only listed starter from the 2004 Rose Bowl on this years team. Dallas Sartz played significant time in the game and recorded one of the 9 sacks compared to Michigan's one sack.

perhaps the question isn't clear. Did the player start the 2004 RoseBowl and is now about to start the 2007 Rosebowl?
Players still on the team are Hershall Dennis, Steve Smith (yet he was behind Colbert), Sam Baker (yet he was behind Rogers), Kalil (yet he was behind Katnik), Sartz (yet he was behind Simmons), Lua (yet he was behind Pollard).
I give up. If I had to guess, I would say Dennis or Kalil.

Hi Scott:
I know answer to this question. Dallas Sartz is only person who start in Rose Bowl Game in 2004 who is still on USc roster now.
Also, Michigan had 1 sack for minus 11 yards. Dziekuje,

I guess Ryan Kalil or Sam Baker as a freshman.

Dwayne Jarrett would be my guess for the starter.
As for sacks, it felt like they got too many; 4?
Posted by: Dan | December 8, 2006 09:37 AM
RB Herschel Dennis, FB Brandon Hancock and LB Dallas Sartz all started the game for the Trojans, so technically there are three players that started the game that are still on the current roster (even though Dennis and Hancock missed the entire 2006 season due to injury)! Michigan had one sack for 11 yards.
