Penn State photo archive: 2017 Rose Bowl vs. USC

A look back at the best images from the 2017 Rose Bowl between Penn State and USC

Penn State took a thrilling path to a Big Ten championship in 2016 with an iconic field goal block against Ohio State and a wild victory over Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship to earn a third trip to the Rose Bowl since joining the Big Ten. And for the second straight time in the Rose Bowl, Penn State would face a high-powered USC team in Pasadena.

Penn State and USC helped to rewrite the record book in the 2017 Rose Bowl with a new game record for combined points, Penn State scoring on three consecutive offensive snaps, and USC quarterback Sam Darnold setting a Rose Bowl record for most touchdown passes, much to the chagrin of the Nittany Lions. Penn State came up on the wrong end of a 52-49 thriller in the Rose Bowl after seeing the offense stalled in the fourth quarter and allowing the Trojans to keep hopes alive. A late interception thrown by Trace McSorley led to a game-winning field goal for the Trojans as time expired.

Despite the loss, the Rose Bowl served up some terrific moments for Penn State, including one of the best runs by [autotag]Saquon Barkley[/autotag]. Here are some of the best photos from the 2017 Rose Bowl as Penn State battled USC.

USFL draft: Penn State’s Christian Campbell selected by Tampa Bay

Former Penn State CB Christian Campbell was picked in the USFL draft

After decades on the sidelines, the USLF is back. That is, a revamped version of the USFL brand is back. And on Tuesday evening, the eight-team league began the process of forming rosters with the first day of a player selection draft. Among the players drafted by a USFL team included former Penn State cornerback Christian Campbell.

Campbell was selected with the first pick in the 10th round by the Tampa Bay Bandits. Each round of the draft was designated for various positions, with each team drafting from a pool of players by position group.

Campbell was a sixth-round draft pick of the Arizona Cardinals in the 2018 NFL draft but was cut by the team prior to the start of the 2018 season. He was later picked up by the New Orleans Saints and spent part of 2019 with the San Francisco 49ers before being waived before the start of the 2019 season.

The USFL draft will conclude on Wednesday.
