Before there can be a Beef Bowl or an actual football game, the Rose Bowl participants –USC and Penn State– needed to meet for a trip to Disneyland.
The full teams from both schools got to spend the afternoon at Disney’s California Adventure in Anaheim, the site of the official welcome press conference and media junket.
Here’s how it looked on the ground, next to the iconic Flo’s Cafe in Carsland…
USC’s troupe at California Adventure included Banner, Sam Darnold, Adoree’ Jackson, JuJu Smith-Schuster and head coach Clay Helton.
Penn State’s group of players included linebacker Koa Farmer, receiver Chris Godwin, defensive end Garrett Sickels, center Brian Gaia and head coach James Franklin.
