USC (8-4) will meet Boston College (8-4) in the Emerald Bowl game at AT&T Park on Dec. 26 at 8 p.m. EST on ESPN.

Quote from Trojans coach Pete Carroll:

"There are a lot of things to look forward to with this game. We’re playing a team with a strong tradition and it looks like it’s a good matchup across the board. I know (Boston College coach) Frank Spaziani and he’s done a nice job with that program. Congratulations to him, his staff and his players. Also, we get to stay in California, and that’s good for our fans, as it will be easy for them to get to the game. Most of all, we get to play one more game this year. We’re disappointed with the way we played the last half of this season, so the Emerald Bowl gives us a chance to finish the year on a positive note. We’ll work hard to send our seniors out in the fashion they deserve. And it’ll give our younger players some extra practice time that will pay off in the future.”

More later.
