Washington and Utah played on Friday for a chance to go to the Rose Bowl. The game, of course, is named for the beauty and elegance of roses, but this one was neither beautiful nor elegant. Instead, the Huskies and Utes ground each other into a pulp and all that came out on the other side was a defensive touchdown. Whatever the recipe, the Huskies emerged as Pac-12 Champions for the second time in the last three years and will play in the Rose Bowl for the first time in over a decade.
I don’t know what Utah did to Murphy.
