Joe Paterno talked about the disadvantage of playing in the Rose Bowl for a Big Ten team after the game.
“There’s a lot of things in coming out here. The traveling, practice, 45 minutes on the bus to get there, 45 minutes to come back. There’s a lot of little things that go on in there that I think in all fairness, when you play Southern Cal, they’re home and and they practice where they normally practice, it’s a lot easier for them to get ready.
“I think the Big would do itself a favor if we could play a week or two after the season we have right now.”
