There's definitely a new power in the East. Just crazy how quickly that program has rebounded from sanctions!

Oh Good Lord, that's a terrible reversal. The guy has one hand on the ball and they're calling that clear possession. That's awful.

Wow... that overturn was a joke. Want PedoSt to beat USC, but that was far from a "clear recovery" and not even close enough evidence to overturn the call on the field

SC isn`t getting the benefit of the calls tonight.
Yeah they trot out all this talk about indisputable evidence, and then reverse a call based on a split-second shot of one guy's hand on the football. That was just pure BS.

Now if this call isn't reversed, USC might as well just walk off the field because this crew has determined they're not supposed to win this game.

I'd hold off on that... 4 consecutive plays for 28 points, take that anomaly away and we have a blowout. They could literally play a hundred times and that would never happen again.

Is this where someone is supposed to squeal something like "Are u even watching the game???"

I can't really stand either of these teams, but they look pretty evenly matched to me.

Yea, are you? Fluke bomb TD on a tip, blatant int which lead to TD, missed field goals....should I go on?

I'll say it. Penn State deserved in the playoff more than Ohio State did. They wouldn't have been shut out by Clemson.

They had head to head and they won the conference title. If you put Ohio State next to that resume they would have been in.

I guess if Michigan can get "blown out" by one point based on the fact that you don't like Harbaugh, it should come as no surprise that you can convince yourself that this would be a blowout except for a few "fluke" plays. Yeah, that's not Penn State marching up and down the field or anything - it's an optical illusion.

Always happy to see Penn State lose, but that was a fantastic game. Wish there could be more bowls that are that competitive.

Great game USC overcame some bad calls and took it. PSU being conservative will lose you games but great effort.

McSorley went full-on Tommy Armstrong there. Don't need a home run - just need to get into FG range.
If you watch the play it looked to me like he had three options, all deep. Still a horrible pass and he eyes the reciever the whole way but i dont think the play call did him any favors.

Yeah that could be, but either way it just didn't make much sense. Plenty of time to get into FG range without a home run ball.

Of the 53 bowls games USC has played in they have won 25 of 34 Rose Bowls....

It's advantage playing in damn near your own back yard.
Big Ten has now won two Rose Bowls in the past 16 years. That's one more than the Mountain West (TCU at the time) has won.

But even though I despise Penn State, they represented the Big Ten well in this one. Terrific game.
