It's going to be the bowl game of the year! Two tough-nosed squads will battle it out. It’s an even 4-4 tie all-time against each other. Joe Pa is 4-3 all-time vs. USC so it is safe to say PSU will win this one (he doesn’t settle for 50%). Joe Pa has won 383 games and 23 bowls (lost only 10/tied 1). USC is taking his squad a bit lightly making it a PSU win 24-13 (thanks to the last second pick by Sargeant returning it the length it the field dumbfounding 50,000 Trojan fans)in this year’s Rose Bowl. Good luck! ROOOOOOOOOOOAR!
