Illinois Cheerleaders No Competition For USC Song Girls At Rose Bowl

Before destroying Illinois cheerleaders inside Rose Bowl

The scorecard is in and at least one critic says the on-field competition between USC and Illinois wasn’t yesterday’s only mismatch.

So says SI blogger Stewart Mandel:

Finally, I don’t think it truly hit me that Illinois is in the Rose Bowl until I actually saw Ron Zook and Juice Williams standing on that fabled field. With all due respect, they looked about as out of place as I would at a fashion show.

Which is not to say this couldn’t still turn into a good game, but I’ve already observed at least one major mismatch: when ABC’s cameras showed consecutive shots of the USC Song Girls followed by their Illinois counterparts. Umm … yeah.
