LOS ANGELES — For Justin Herbert, the big reveal came Wednesday when he stepped off the UO football charter from Eugene, at Los Angeles International Airport. For Troy Dye, it came a bit later Wednesday, after his commercial flight from Atlanta landed at LAX, and he took a shuttle to Oregon's team hotel for Rose Bowl week.
But for both seniors, the "holy cow, we're at the Rose Bowl" moment was the same: The first time each set eyes on the Ducks' team busses for the week, and the freshly printed graphics applied to their exteriors.
