Terrelle Pryor is murdering OSU's chances.

If he plays like the last drive the rest of the night they just might steal this one.

What the hell does the fanbase have to do with the quality of football?

Hey, I can't tell you ever reason why people enjoy watching Penn State, OSU, Michigan, ND, etc. play. The fact is that they just do. A couple thousand more than everyone else.

Yeh. NCAA prime time sports (Football & Basketball) aren't about finding the best team. It's about money and power. Nothing more. The Big 10 teams have some of the most loyal fans of any teams in the nation short of Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. How many other schools can fill up 100,000 seat stadiums full of yellow or red shirts? And when it comes to bowl season these same fans travel better than anyone else.

Outside of the BCS games, bowl selection is still choice of the bowl sponsors. You'll see Big 10/12 teams get slotted in higher than they should simply because their fans will come down and shower the area with tourist dollars.

147 offensive yards for OSU, 5 for USC. Interesting.

USC finally got a bit of rushing momentum last drive before that INT. With the depth at RB that they have Carroll is going to have to just keep running it. Their young QB looks...well like a young QB. As the game goes on and the defense gets wore down that rushing attack is going to get even more an more in USC's favor.
 
USC is a really good team. If OSU can beat them, it's going to be a major confidence booster. I hope they can pull this off.
