The AP All-Bowl team honors the top performers of bowl season, so it’s no surprise to see a handful of Trojans represented after the topsy-turvy Rose Bowl victory.
In fact, USC had the most players on the squad, with three first team selections and two honorable mentions.
Sam Darnold headlined those selections as the top quarterback of the postseason, setting Rose Bowl records for touchdowns, yards and points.
On the day, Darnold had 453 yards and five touchdowns, including the game-tying touchdown with just over a minute remaining — a near-perfect thrown dropped in between three defenders.
