For the second year in a row, Utah has proven that it is the best team in the Pac-12 and will be facing a Big Ten foe in the Rose Bowl. What was a high-powered matchup between the Utes and Ohio State last year could see a similar scenario play out in Pasadena on Jan. 2.
Utah will have to match Penn State -- which is no stranger to shootouts at the Rose Bowl (see: 2017) -- blow for blow in a matchup of top 20 offenses to avoid going 0-2 into the Granddaddy of Them All.
