Penn State Nitanny Lions @ Utah Utes -1.5 * 5:00 PM * Rose Bowl
Utah enjoyed its first-ever Rose Bowl appearance for most of last year's game but arrives back in Pasadena, Calif., adorned with the unfinished-business label.
The Utes fell to Ohio State on a late field goal last year, and now No. 8 Utah will compete against another Big Ten powerhouse program on Monday when it faces No. 11 Penn State at the famed stadium below the San Gabriel Mountains.
It has been a recurring theme for the Utes (10-3) when they discuss being in the Rose Bowl for the second straight season.
Utah never trailed over the first 55-plus minutes of the 48-45 loss to the Buckeyes and sustained a tough blow when standout quarterback Cam Rising exited due to a head injury early in the fourth quarter.
Rising, who played high school football 50 miles to the west in Newbury Park, Calif., is excited about having a second opportunity to play in "The Granddaddy of Them All."
The Utes have won six of their past seven games, including two victories over Southern California. The second one was a 47-24 whipping in the Pac-12 title game at Las Vegas.
Utah All-America cornerback Clark Phillips entered the bowl season tied for second nationally with six interceptions.
Penn State (10-2) enters with four straight victories, and its losses were to two of the four College Football Playoff participants: No. 2 Michigan and No. 4 Ohio State.
Nittany Lions coach James Franklin is preparing for a tough task, as he is having trouble identifying weaknesses in the Utes.
"If you're a true football guy, if you watch them, that's what a true football team is supposed to be like," Franklin said ahead of the first-ever meeting between the programs.
The contest is the final one for Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford, who is in his sixth season with the program. Clifford passed for 2,543 yards, 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions in the 2022 regular season.
Penn State, which has lost three of four previous Rose Bowls, has just two wins in its past six bowl games.
