In case you thought that the USC Trojans weren’t going to take the University of Illinois seriously in its Rose Bowl match-up, just take a look at what Pete Carroll and the Coaching staff did on their first day off after the regular season ended, according to official Trojan blog USCRipsit. Something makes me think that offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian will be asking Oj Mayo to join him and his colleagues next year.

Media sources report that the Men of Troy were nonplussed with playing the Illini on January 1st, least of which is because it eliminates any possibility that they’d have to lay a claim on a split “national championship” should Ohio State stumble against LSU in the BCS Title Game. Thanks Rose Bowl, indeed.
