1924 Rose Bowl - Aftermath

Aftermath

The tie gave Washington a 10–1–1 record for the 1923 season, the second best in school history, behind the 1916 season, when the squad went 6–0–1. Navy's record went to 5–1–3, a slight improvement from the previous year, when the team went 5–2. It became the eighth straight winning season for the Midshipmen.

Washington went 8–1–1 in the 1924 season, remaining under the direction of coach Enoch Bagshaw. The Huskies would be invited to the 1926 Rose Bowl, after completing an undefeated 11–0–1 1925 season. The Huskies lost the game to the Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 20–19. Washington finished the 1920s with an overall record of 65–26–6, coached by Bagshaw for every season, save 1920, when the team was under the leadership of Stub Allison. Navy finished the 1924 season with a 2–6 record, snapping their winning season streak at eight. The Navy football team was not invited to participate in another bowl game until 1955, when the "team named desire" defeated the Ole Miss Rebels in the Sugar Bowl 21–0. The Midshipmen finished the 1920s with a record of 55–22–8, with nine of the ten seasons having winning records. Navy's coach, Bob Folwell, would leave the team after the 1924 season, replaced by Jack Owsley. Navy and Washington have since met five times; Washington currently leads the series 3–2–1.

Due to the fact that the 1924 Rose Bowl and several subsequent ones had very high attendance, the Tournament of Roses Association decided to close off the south end of the Rose Bowl stadium, and expand the seating from a horseshoe design to one which surrounded the entire field. The game was the first in which the Tournament of Roses left ticket sales to the participating schools. This strategy has been used since, with only a small number of tickets allocated to the Tournament for each game.
