The Game
As for the game, Penn State defensive tackle Nick Tarburton’s comment to the Associated Press sums it up. “We’re playing in the last, I guess, traditional Rose Bowl,” he said. The 109th game will be the last that’s guaranteed to feature the time-honored pairing of Pac-12 and Big Ten teams.
