SALT LAKE CITY — Utah and Utah State football teams accepted their invitations to separate bowl games Sunday, ending any anxiety or anticipation felt by either fan base.
Utah State (6-6) will play New Mexico State (6-6) in the Arizona Bowl on Dec. 29, while Utah (6-6) will take on West Virginia (7-5) in the Heart of Dallas Bowl on Dec. 26.
“It’s a great opportunity,” said Utah senior tight end Harrison Handley. “We’re just thankful that the committee chose Utah to go down to the Heart of Texas Bowl, and we just want to go out there and make fans proud and go out on a winning note.
