LOS ANGELES -- All there is to say about the Rose Bowl Game Presented by Northwestern Mutual, apparently, has been said.
Stanford coach David Shaw and Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz attended the head coaches’ press conferences Wednesday morning in downtown Los Angeles and said what coaches generally say after discussing the game ad nauseum with the media for the past several days.
“What you’re looking at,” Ferentz said, “are two teams that have competed extremely hard, week in and week out.”

Earlier Wednesday, Ferentz was named as the recipient of the 2015 Dodd Trophy, adding to his collection of national coach-of-the-year hardware.
