The game really is not compelling as W. Michigan recruits in the same region. That Power5 vs Go5 NY6 game works a bit better when the Go5 team has a different style and/or a different recruiting geography.

I feel bad for Iowa. (Despite the noise that Big-10 fan bases tend to make.)

Penn State starts off with a series of calamities against SC. I've seen this movie before.

SC in shock. Can they wake up???
Re: Other games of interest: Bowl season edition - ChicagoCard - 01-02-2017
What would Stanford's defensive strategy be against Penn St? Really curious.

Not to blitz multiple players every down. Focus on stopping the run.

We need that red zone quarterback run in our playbook.

SC isn't done yet.
Hope Shawgren are taking notes. Fantastic old school offensive display against a couple of athletic defenses.
Great game.

Wow, two minutes left in the third quarter, and the total points scored have already set a Rose Bowl record. Any bets that they're done?

Yes, I am sure the coaches from Stanford are going to watch the film of this game. Old school play on defense and offense can beat SC. Something tells me Penn State probably watched Stanford film. Most of the Pac-12 schools, especially the ones at the bottom, are all raid all of the time. I doubt the Penn State staff watched those teams for clues.
SC is such a front running team. The kids in that program strike me as soft if the going gets tough. And once down it seems like they are always quick to blame the referees while simultaneously starting to commit personal fouls. The 7th TD drive for Penn State looked like classic trailing SC to me.

SC lack of depth on defense is very apparent.

Just an ankle injury, but only because the Rose Bowl turf is a wet natural grass field. On turf, he might have a very different injury.Â

Speaking of Iowa... that defense gave up 30, to Florida?

What a choke by Penn State. Maybe the Playoffs shouldn't have taken any B1G teams.
