The day is finally here. Penn State is in Pasadena to take on USC in the 103rd Rose Bowl after a miracle season that’s included a spotless record since falling to Michigan earlier in the year. The Trojans come in with similar momentum after freshman quarterback Sam Darnold took over four games in and saved USC’s season.
