Daily News | Penn State will face Pac-12 champion Utah in the Rose Bowl
“I want to thank the Rose Bowl Committee for the invitation to one of college football’s most prestigious and historic bowl games,” Lions coach James Franklin said in a press release. “Playing in the Rose Bowl is truly a special way to close out this season with a team, staff, and fan base that has stuck together and trusted the process all year.”
Both teams fell short in shootout fashion in their last Rose Bowl appearances, with the Nittany Lions being outlasted by Southern Cal, 52-49, in 2017 and the Utes falling in the final seconds to Ohio State, 48-45, last season. “I am so proud of our student-athletes, coaches, and staff for the hard work they have put in this season to earn the reward of a trip to The Granddaddy of Them All,” said Patrick Kraft, Penn State’s vice president for intercollegiate athletics. “The Rose Bowl has such a rich history, and I can’t think of a better way to cap a terrific season and send our seniors off with a special memory. I know Nittany Nation will be excited to head to Pasadena to start the New Year.
