Will USC or Penn State provide best answers to Rose Bowl questions?

01 Jan 2009 00:52:26 PST

For No. 8 Penn State: "So what do you think if USC's top-ranked defense?" Hmm. The Trojans scored 38 vs. Iowa, 55 vs. Oklahoma and 32 vs. Michigan. Penn State's 82-year-old coach, Joe Paterno, coaching in his record 35th bowl game, wasn't actively waving the Big Ten flag this week.
