  When Bowling Green State University football opens its season at UCLA, senior quarterback Matt McDonald will be able to say every football-playing member of his family has played in the Rose Bowl Stadium. McDonald is looking forward to the season opener in the stadium that has hosted "The Granddaddy of Them All", the Rose Bowl football game, since 1902. The Falcons and Bruins will tangle on Sept. 3 with kickoff set for 2:30 p.m. on the Pac-12 Network. McDonald's excitement is shared by BGSU coach Scot Loeffler and his teammates. "Being a Big Ten guy there is no greater place in the United States to play but in the Rose Bowl," Loeffler said. "I love it. I think the kids are going to have a great experience. "Now with Matt playing every McDonald has played in the Rose Bowl, so it is going to be a neat experience for our kids," Loeffler continued. "It's a really great football team - (UCLA coach) Chip (Kelly) does a really great job. We have to go out there and play our very best and find a way to sneak one past them."

McDonald's father, Paul McDonald, was a standout quarterback at USC, finishing his collegiate career 22-1-1 and holding the NCAA mark for the lowest interception percentage in a career at 2.3% (13 interceptions in 561 attempts). With Paul McDonald calling the signals, the 1980 Trojans won a national championship with a 17-16 victory over Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Two of Matt's brothers played quarterback in college football, including Mike, who was a third string QB for USC during the 2005 season. For Matt, who hails from Newport Beach, California and is the youngest of Paul and Allyson McDonald's four children, nothing could be better than beginning his final season on the Rose Bowl stage. "It's the grandaddy of them all. I'm excited," Matt said. "I've always dreamed of playing in that stadium. - Sentinel Tribune
