Trojans relishing return to Rose Bowl after eight-year absence

ANAHEIM – Zach Banner’s smile widened as he gestured toward his brow.

“Look at me,” said Banner, USC’s 360-pound senior right tackle. “I’m wearing Minnie Mouse ears.”

The sparkling headband, fitted with a red bow, stood atop his head.

“I’m having a blast,” Banner said. “This is awesome.”

As the Trojans start the final week of preparation for their Rose Bowl matchup with Penn State on Monday, they took the traditional theme park visit on Tuesday afternoon to Disneyland and the adjacent Disney California Adventure.

“See you at the teacups,” Banner told a group of fans soon after their arrival.
