Rose Bowl Preview

(3) TCU -3 vs. (5) Wisconsin

This is the game that I have been waiting to see more than any game minus the National Championship. TCU breezed through their schedule without ever really being tested. Wisconsin did much of the same, but suffered one setback at the hands of Michigan St. The Horned Frogs bring the nation's number 1 defense into Pasadena to face a vaunted Badger offense that scored 70+ points 3 times this season. TCU will have to prove that they are deserving of that number 1 defense title and that it wasn't just a product of facing mediocre competition in the Mountain West. To do so they will have to stop Wisconsin's stable of running backs in John Clay, Montee Ball, and James White. This will be no easy task because every starting offensive linemen for the Badgers made one of the All Big Ten teams. TCU will look to show Ohio St. president Gordon Gee that they can indeed play with the big boys. Look for Wisconsin to win this game in the trenches though.

Prediction - Wisconsin 30 TCU 27
