Utah and Northwestern are nearly set to hit the field in San Diego for the Holiday Bowl, a game in which Northwestern seeks its third-straight bowl victory, while Utah seeks its sixth-straight. In advance of the showdown, we got the inside scoop from Shane Roberts of Block U, Utah’s SB Nation site.
Inside NU: How would you evaluate this season for Utah? Was it a success?
Shane Roberts: I’d say so, even if the Rose Bowl was there to be had. Utah was the only Pac-12 South team not to make the Pac-12 title game, and getting that monkey off the back was huge.
