Well Rhyne was the holder for the missed 45 yd field goal at UCLA game 1, so he is 2/3 as a holder which is not a significant difference from the overal season FG stats (15/25).  Still, I would probably go with Rhyne for the Rose Bowl because you have a month of practices and if there is no significant difference why not find out if you have your holder for next year?  I don't think it would be an insult to Zychlinski -- his main role is as the starting punter and it's his last year.

But speaking of next year, why not have someone like Dallas Lloyd hold next year?  I always liked the flexibility that comes from a holder with run/pass optionality.  Even if you are not inclined towards fakes like Shaw, it helps when there is a bad snap.
