No. 9 USC Football Meets No. 5 Penn State In 103rd Rose Bowl Game

USC Rose Bowl Media Guide

*No. 9 USC and No. 5 Penn State--the hottest teams in college football right now with a combined 17 consecutive wins--face off in the 2017 Rose Bowl Game. The 103rd version of “The Granddaddy Of Them All” is a classic Pac-12/Big Ten meeting between collegiate programs with storied gridiron traditions.

*While it will be the 10th meeting between USC and Penn State, it will be just the third time the teams meet in Pasadena. Their most recent matchup came in each squad’s last Rose Bowl appearance, as Troy prevailed in the 2009 Rose Bowl.
