Prothro Faces Rose Bowl Challenge After Turkey Day Tie
Oregon State coach Tommy Prothro, who engineered a late miracle to reach the Rose Bowl, faces a bigger test as his Beavers play Iowa on New Year’s Day. OSU's 9-2-1 record is tempered by a 14-14 Turkey Day tie with Oregon, and a prior loss to Iowa. Prothro plans five weeks ahead to refine an offense averaging 13.9 points per game while defenses yield 13.1. Meanwhile South Carolina’s Gamecocks improve their bowl hopes with a 13-6 win over Wake Forest as ACC contenders Duke and Clemson press the Orange Bowl race.
