Think so huh? Not sold on USC with Booty and a backfield run by committee and a leading receiver who is a tight end?...

Re: Rose Bowl: Illinois vs. USC

USC's a good team, but Illinois can be equally as explosive offensively with Juice Williams. Still, though, I think Southern Cal eeks this one out.

Home state advantage plays a factor?

Yeah, and they are the better team. I like Illinois, but Zook doesn't quite have this team where they need to be yet. Soon, though.

I agree Illinois is not there yet. But Booty and company have had some lapses this year. A pick or two here and there and we have us a different ball game.

Yep, that's why they play the game. As many people as there are ripping the Rose Bowl for picking the Illini, I'd love to see them win this one!

I would love to see Illinois win, but USC has enough speed on defense to control Juice, and will probably win.

Re: Rose Bowl: Illinois vs. USC

Wow, way to represent out there, Illinois. That 49-17 loss wasn't TOO embarrassing.

Still, nice season for Illini and the Zooker. Wish it would've ended on a high note.
