My biggest concern for the Rose Bowl is the long break. Of course it helps the guys to heal and maybe we get some guys back but we have been on an incredible run since OSU. Now we have a month break, it will be interesting to see if the staff can keep the team playing at such a high level. What killed us in 2009 Rose Bowl was the fact USC jumped all over us right from the start. Of course they were the more talented team. All year we have struggled starting games. If we fall behind like we did against Wiscy, I don't see us being able to bounce back. Wisconsin doesn't have the athlete's that USC has. IMO the key to the game is staying close early.
