[Oskee] I smell Roses!

[Todd Sweet]

Honestly, I'm not worried about matchups.  A chance to play in the Rose Bowl
is awesome.  That's not to say I don't think we will compete, because I
think we will.  I'd be more concerned about our guys lack of experience in
what's sure to be a media bedlam situation.  The game at OSU proves they can
play well on the road on the big stage, but USC's players do this every year
so they'll be much less distracted.
