Rose Bowl Predictions (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/colleges/football/rosebowl/stories/122305dnsporosebowlpicks.23e7254.html)
Check the link for a lot of predictions! I pulled just a few for here.
Kevin Blackistone
USC 48, Texas 31: Pete Carroll returns to the NFL after Paul Tagliabue names the Trojans the league’s new LA franchise.
Mark Cuban, Mavericks owner
Texas 38, USC 31: No one said USC could play any defense. The Horns are going to jump on them early and hold on against a furious rally to win.
Billy Gillispie, Texas A&M men's basketball coach
Texas 37, USC 28: I'm pulling for Texas teams.
Emory Bellard III, Jacksonville, Fla.
Texas 35, USC 17: USC hasn't faced a solid defense all season. USC beating a soft Notre Dame defensive team in South Bend doesn't even compare to Texas beating a strong defensive Ohio State team in Columbus. You can't compare similar opponents for these teams, but Texas has gotten stronger and stronger each week. The West Coast media hype has boosted USC's rankings the same way they boosted Reggie Bush to win the Heisman. ... Texas will out-tough a talented USC team.
Cathy Weinblatt, Dallas
Texas 38, USC 35: Never underestimate the power of a motivated Vince Young. He loves playing in the national spotlight -- and after losing the Heisman, he will relish the opportunity to prove everyone wrong!
Matt Hayes, The Sporting News
USC 34, Texas 24: The Trojans haven't seen anything like Vince Young, much less a motvated Vince Young. Eventually, USC will figure how to contain Young on the read option play – say, somewhere in the third quarter – and score late to make a close game more comfortable.
