Got some statistics. Tennessee is 0-2 against USC in the Rose Bowl. Let's put one under the W column in 2006!

More motivation: Alabama was the first team to defeat USC in the Rose Bowl, after Tennessee failed to do so twice. USC has historically been dominant in the Tournament of Roses, with a 21-8 record.

Though it may have been C.D. Brown in that first game (Maryville 1892), a verifiable report gives that honor to Strang Nicklin (175 yds vs Central University of Kentucky in 1896).
