No. 11 Utah eager to face No. 6 Ohio State in Rose Bowl

Ohio State had aspirations of playing for the national championship, while Utah finally gets to play at that famous New Year's Day paradise.

The No. 6 Buckeyes look to cast away disappointment and the No. 11 Utes will try to channel their exuberance when the teams meet Saturday in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Calif.

Utah (10-3) is playing in the Rose Bowl for the first time since joining the Pac-12 for the 2011 season.
