Rose Bowl Result: USC Beats Penn State
RightFielders Women in Sports —
The University of Southern California beat Penn State 38-24 to win their third consecutive Rose Bowl title. They are the first team to achieve this feat.“We owned it for a couple years and it’s gotten sweeter and sweeter as the years go on,” linebacker Rey Maualuga said. “This is our home turf and we came in and dominated.” Mark Sanchez, who passed for 413 yards and four touchdowns for his team, was instrumental in the much-lauded victory which saw the Trojans rushing to a 31-7 lead by the half-time.
