The Buckeyes are headed to Pasadena for the second time in the past three years.
Ohio State will take on Utah in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, and after the matchup became official on Sunday, Buckeye head coach Ryan Day reacted to the news at a press conference at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
Day previewed the forthcoming meeting with the Utes and addressed several other developments that have taken place since the Buckeyes' regular season came to a close with a loss to Michigan on Nov. 27, including five-star freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers' recent decision to transfer out of the program.
