PASADENA, Calif. — There’s plenty of ready to get you ready for the Oregon State football team’s game in the Rose Bowl today against UCLA.
Here’s my Saturday story in the GT about OSU coach Mike Riley’s philosophy about how to use the running game to set up the offense. From there, there are links to all the stories in the week leading up to game.
Here’s the latest in the GT’s countdown of the top 12 players of the decade. This one is on Ken Simonton. Links to the previous picks are there, too.
Here’s a link to the players to watch. OSU’s S Suaesi Tuimaunei and UCLA’s RB Johnathan Franklin are in my spotlight.
The Beavers are favored in this game by five points. I picked them to win 31-13. I think the Bruins are too battered and haven’t been playing well, while the Beavers have been playing well.
They, too are banged up. For now, they have the firepower to get by this game.
Remember to check the blog before, during and after the game for updates and insight. Follow me on twitter.com/cliffgt.
And since we are in L.A., here are videos of some of my favorite L.A. bands. Growing up in Southern California in the 1980s, there were many. I’ll go with the Kings of the Sunset Strip and their latest work.
