Utah football continued its tradition of honoring former players Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe with a “moment of loudness” during the Rose Bowl.
The two players died nine months apart from each other, Jordan first from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound and Lowe was shot and killed at a house party just hours after the Utes beat Washington State in September. The two were high school teammates, and after Jordan’s death, Lowe switched his jersey to No. 22 in honor of him.
But instead of the deaths tearing the team apart, it brought them together.
