Pat O' Dea was an Aussie Rules star who, as legend has it, was recruited on the spot by the (American) football coach who happened to walk by while he was having a kick with his brother Andy, who was the school's track and crew coach. He went on to play punter, kicker and full back from 1897-1899, then served as head football coach at the school where he completed his law degree from 1900-01. After a rather interesting post-college life that included teaching "field ball" (a name used to distinguish Aussie Rules from rugby) to northern California youth, he was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1962 and passed away the day after learning of the honor. Name either the team he played for or the first team he coached; both teams have lost in the Rose Bowl game in the last five years.
