Penn State not done yet, but they do fall short in the end, 38-24!



Look at this - Penn State with a chance, but they'll still need virtually a miracle to pull this off.

And being that he didn't get out-of-bounds, and no time outs, the chances are very miniscule. Penn State needs to score a TD on 4th down, kick an onside kick and recover it, then score another TD with a 2-point conversion to pull it off, all in 7 seconds.

Extremely unlikely - the real question is whether Penn State can score another touchdown to get that score to within 7 points and really make this game look closer than it actually was. USC is certainly not playing with the same zest they did before, which might be partly why they fell to Oregon State, as they fell behind big in that game, then had to scramble to come back, but fell short (no disrespect to Oregon State and their fans).

Well, it didn't happen - it ends with an interception and USC knocks off Penn State 38-24 in the 2009 Rose Bowl presented by Citi. That makes 3 straight Rose Bowl wins for USC, the first team to do that (over Michigan, Illinois, and now, Penn State).
