Rose Bowl thoughts

Now that you can add comments to blog entries, let us know what you think about the Rose Bowl and how Penn State matches up against Penn State.

The line (now at 9.5) hasn't budged much from when it initially opened at 10.5. Personally, I think Penn State will keep it close for most of the game, if not until the end, and if the Nittany Lions catch a few breaks, an upset of USC isn't unrealistic. Joe Paterno's teams are always prepared to play in bowl games, and this team seems to be on a mission.

It will be interesting to see how the coaching staff uses Stephfon Green, who didn't contribute as much late in the season as he did early in the season. Green is one of the the few Nittany Lions whose speed compares favorably to USC's defense, and that speed could help him break a few long plays.

How do you see the Rose Bowl playing out, and what do you think are the keys for a Penn State victory?

A confused soul, he listens to rap, plays golf and hunts. And like any true Pennsylvanian, he treats the Monday after Thanksgiving as a national holiday.
