Rose Bowl: Ohio State Buckeyes arrive in Southern California

The Ohio State football team has made it to Los Angeles.

Coach Urban Meyer and select players took part in a welcome ceremony (along with Washington coach Chris Petersen and members of the Pac 12 champion Huskies) at Disneyland on Wednesday, officially kicking off a week of events that will lead up to the 105th Rose Bowl Game on Tuesday at 5:10 p.m. Eastern.

Numerous media opportunities will be part of the week, the next coming Thursday morning when Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano and a handful of Buckeye defenders take questions from reporters prior to a contingent from the Washington offense including quarterback Jack Browning and star running back Myles Gaskin.
