Former USC Players React To Rose Bowl Victory On Social Media

Former USC players on Twitter were hyped up on Monday as the Trojans completed a comeback win over Penn State.

USC football completed their epic turnaround in 2016 with another epic turnaround in 2017.

The Trojans trailed Penn State by 14 points entering the fourth quarter, blitz by the Nittany Lions with 28-unanswered points at the end of the second quarter and first five minutes of the third.

Of course, USC raged back, scoring 17 points in the final eight minutes and 15 seconds of the game to win the game.

Social media exploded with reaction to the game from Trojans past and present:
