Rose Bowl Game

Barry Alvarez in his third bowl game and in his seventh season at Wisconsin.

He's 2-0 in bowl games, having won a Rose Bowl and a Hall of Fame.

And this guy basically is the bowl history, Ron McBride, in his seventh year for Utah because he's had them in three bowls in the last four years.

He has said that this year his team has played well when they've been challenged, almost backs to the wall.

And

his coach, Barry Alvarez, who has coached a lot of linebackers in his day, remember he was a defensive coordinator for years at Notre Dame and all around the conference, said he is the best linebacker I've ever coached, and that really says enough.

And, you know, had Wisconsin been a Rose Bowl team, he could have been the pass for Cheryl with a big 10.

I mean, that's the type of player he is.

Let's see.

Vermeer, were you still at UCLA or with the Eagles by then? I was at UCLA getting ready to go to the Rose Bowl.

There you go.

Against Ohio State, as a matter of fact.

He didn't push it in there.

He could have stayed in.

Well, you know, the Rose Bowl.

Looms large for Penn State at the moment.

Well, that's a big part of it, Wayne, but I think you also look at the success that Bollinger's had.

8-0 last year as a starter, Rose Bowl champions.

The difference now, though, Barry Alvarez won't hesitate to make a change if Bollinger struggles.

He's got a lot of confidence in his new backup.

Upward.

Look, I remember the days of Stanford that Andrew Luck, Christian McCaffrey, led by Coach Jim Harbaugh, and then David Shaw, three Rose Bowl appearances, a third overall ranking in the college football playoff back in 2015.

Yeah, I remember those Stanford Cardinals that Cardinal – that doesn't really have a passionate fan base at all.

A little closer to home, Richard.

Absolutely.

Well, Lauren, I tell you what, the Oklahoma Sooners and the Georgia Bulldogs, the last time that they hooked up was in 2018.

You were there on the West Coast at the Rose Bowl, and again, a guy by the name of – Baker Mayfield, the Heisman Trophy candidate of that time, had a couple of running backs.

Nick Chubb and Sonny Michel ran into a buzzsaw with the Bulldogs and in overtime won this game 54-48.
