Southern California is returning to the Rose Bowl thanks to another late-season surge capped by a convincing victory over its biggest rival. UCLA, meanwhile, might soon be making a coaching change. John David Booty passed for 206 yards and one touchdown, USC rushed for another 231 yards, and the eighth-ranked Trojans beat the Bruins 24-7 Saturday to assure themselves a date in Pasadena on New Year's Day. "The senior class has been there four of the last five years," Booty said. "We're going to prepare just like we always do, practice the same way, hopefully have the same outcome we've had the majority of the times we've been there." The Trojans (10-2, 7-2 Pac-10) won their final four regular-season games to earn an unprecedented sixth consecutive conference championship. It also gives them a record 32nd appearance in the Rose Bowl as well as a sixth straight BCS bowl berth.
