Lions answer question of just how good they really are with Rose Bowl rout

PASADENA, Calif. -- What. A. Statement. Not only was it a tremendous way to end a memorable season that caught many people by surprise, but also a springboard to what just about everyone believes will be a very bright future.

We've wondered all along just how good Penn State really is, because it didn't have a signature win this season.

Yeah, yeah the Nittany Lions were 10-2 and ranked No. 11 in the country. But they hadn't beaten anybody.

Well, now they have.

Badly.

The Lions didn't just get a signature win in the Rose Bowl.
