USC To Face Big Ten Champion Penn State In Rose Bowl

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California will face Big Ten champion Penn State in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2.

The 103rd edition of the Granddaddy of Them All will match two venerable football programs that have emerged from bad times since their last trip to this postseason showcase.

USC (9-3) will meet Penn State (11-2) in a rematch of the 2009 Rose Bowl, won 38-24 by the Trojans.
