SALT LAKE CITY — There is no bowl destination more desirable for Utah football this year, really any year, than the Rose Bowl. Next weekend’s Pac-12 Championship Game, to be played against the Washington Huskies, will decide on that.
In the meantime, bowl watchers, planners and executives from additional season-ending showcases have had their eye on the Utes.
On Saturday night it was the Valero Alamo Bowl, which advertises itself as the No. 1 bowl game in the country, outside of the College Football Playoff.
Jack Rogers, the bowl’s senior account manager, was on hand for the rivalry and made it clear that the San Antonio-based bowl is looking hard at the Utes.
