[7] When #17 UCLA and Stanford met in the 2012 Pac-12 Conference Championship six days after their regular-season meeting, Hogan led the Cardinal to a 27–24 victory, earning Most Valuable Player honors and sending the team to the 2013 Rose Bowl for the first time since 1999.

[8][9] At the Rose Bowl, Hogan led the Cardinal to a 20–14 victory against Wisconsin, ending the season on a five-game winning streak to finish with a 12–2 record.

[14] Hogan went on to lead the Cardinal to an 11–2 regular season record, with notable wins over Notre Dame, Oregon, UCLA, and Arizona State in the Pac-12 Championship game.

[15][16][17][18] In the 11th game of the season, Hogan threw for a career-best 349 yards and 5 touchdowns (all in the first half, and the most by a Stanford quarterback since 1999) in a 63–13 victory over rival California.

His 171.0 passing efficiency that season was a school record and fifth in the country, while his total offense of 3,203 yards is fourth all-time at Stanford.

His combined total offense of 10,634 yards is also a school record, and his career passing efficiency of 154.6 is second only to Andrew Luck, and he holds three of Stanford's top 10 seasons in both categories.
