USC Denies Joe-Pa The Roses, 38-24

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- Southern California made a strong case
of its own to be No. 1.
JoePa agreed, even before Penn State got beaten by the Trojans
in the Rose Bowl.
Mark Sanchez passed for 413 yards and four touchdowns, USC
dominated on defense and the fifth-ranked Trojans defeated the No.
6 Nittany Lions 38-24 Thursday.
Penn State coach Joe Paterno watched from the press box, where
he's been for most of the season following hip replacement surgery.
He couldn't have liked what he saw -- at one point in the first
half, the TV camera caught him shaking his head as USC (12-1)
rolled to a 31-7 lead.
Out of the BCS championship mix, the Trojans (12-1) could only
wonder what might have been had they not lost at Oregon State 27-21
on Sept. 25.

I agree Coach M. Anytime I go back home and tell people that I am going to ECU they have no idea who, what, or where, ECU is.
Kentucky is close to the worst team in a not alot conference and yet... Stop with the Pirates could have done this, the Pirates could have done that. The 2 early victories were flukes. I say again, ECWho
That is pretty funny that you guys talk junk to me but yet you root for ECU. To be honest with you guys, you have no room to talk!! It's all good though because I will be on here relentlessly once Kentucky destroys the purple and gold pierats.
