A moment of silence prior to the National Anthem was held in memory of former Michigan center, the 38th President of the United States and 1978 Tournament of Roses Grand Marshall Gerald Ford, who died six days earlier. George Lucas, USC alum and the creator of the Star Wars series of films and Grand Marshall for the 2007 Tournament of Roses Parade that preceded the game, flipped the coin. Southern California deferred after winning the coin toss, and Michigan elected to receive the ball on the kickoff. The game officially started at 2:00 pm PST(UTC-8).
