Until 2021, the 1942 Rose Bowl was the only one held outside of Pasadena, California. Due to concerns about potential bomb strikes in California during World War II, the Rose Bowl was moved to Durham, in what is now Wallace Wade Stadium. Following their four-year undefeated streak, Duke would record their first loss, a 3-7 fall to Oregon State.
