Texas' last-minute victory over Southern California in the Rose Bowl drew the highest rating for a college football game in 19 years.

ABC Sports' broadcast of Texas' 41-38 victory last Wednesday night got a 21.7 rating, a 59 percent increase from the 13.7 for USC's win over Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl in last year's Bowl Championship Series national title game.

The Rose Bowl drew the highest rating since the 25.1 for Penn State's victory over Miami in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 2, 1987.

The rating is the percentage watching a program among all television households, and each point for over-the-air networks represents 1,096,000 homes. The share is the percentage tuned in among those homes with TVs in use at the time.
