The 2017 Rose Bowl turned into arguably the best game of the bowl season. Featuring Penn State and USC, two of the hottest teams in the nation, the game came down to a field goal with time expiring in regulation.
Penn State carried a 49-35 lead into the fourth quarter and appeared to have the game in its grasp. The Nittany Lions entered the game as the best team in the nation with a +111 differential in the fourth quarter, but allowed the Trojans to score 17 unanswered points in the final frame.
A 46-yard USC field goal sailed through the uprights at game’s end and sealed the game for the Trojans.
