Date: January 2, 2012
Location: Pasadena, CA
Venue: Rose Bowl Stadium
Teams: Oregon Ducks vs. Wisconsin Badgers
If it’s high-octane offenses that you’re looking for, then you need to go no further than this year’s Rose Bowl, as the granddaddy of them all hosts the Pac-12 Champion Oregon Ducks and Big-12-Winning Wisconsin Badgers. This will be the Ducks’ third-straight BCS game, which includes one National Championship Game and two Rose Bowls. Chip Kelly’s lot will be led by juniors quarterback Derron Thomas and running back LaMichael James, who form a formidable duo who like to score frequently and have led Oregon to the top of the polls and offensive ranks since their arrivals in Eugene. Their opposite numbers—senior QB Russell Wilson and junior back Montee Ball—like to score even more than Thomas and James, to the tune of 30+ scores each for the duo in 2012. This Rose Bowl will be one for the ages, and one you won’t want to miss!
