(Michael Owen Baker | AP) The University of Utah cheerleaders attend the 134th Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif., Monday, Jan. 2, 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Rain has rarely fallen on the parade, but this year it came close. Downpours pounded Southern California over the weekend and rain was expected to return by Monday evening, possibly affecting the Rose Bowl college football game between Utah and Penn State.<\/p>\n
But in the meantime, thousands of spectators and the parade participants avoided a soaking.<\/p>\n

After last year’s Rose Bowl week was limited due to COVID-19 concerns, Utah got the full Rose Bowl treatment this time around, including the Beef Bowl at famous Beverly Hills chophouse Lawry’s The Prime Rib.<\/p>\n
As anticipated, the Beef Bowl on Thursday night was quite the spectacle, complete with Bryson Barnes participating in the \u201cfirst cut\u201d with a chef’s hat, chef’s jacket, and a large carving knife. <\/p>\n
Longtime ESPN color analyst Kirk Herbstreit has been a fan of Kyle Whittingham and the Utes going back 20 years when the program was still a member of the Mountain West. Here’s why. <\/p>\n
If certain NFL Draft decisions go Utah’s way, including that of Cam Rising, it is not impossible that the Utes are back at the Rose Bowl next season, at which time the game will act as a College Football Playoff semifinal.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of Utes with the experience of last year’s Rose Bowl, but this Utah team features a handful of freshmen playing big roles this season and experiencing the game for the first time. <\/p>\n
Utah will miss All-American cornerback Clark Phillips III at the Rose Bowl, but defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley is happy to see Phillips III go. The third-year sophomore opted out of the game and is instead beginning preparations for the NFL Draft in April.<\/p>\n
If there were any lingering questions as to whether or not quarterback-turned-running back Ja’Quinden Jackson would return to quarterback in 2023, Utes offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig put those to rest. <\/p>\n
This Rose Bowl run proves that last year’s Rose Bowl run was no fluke. Columnist Gordon Monson argues that Utah’s credibility is no longer up for discussion with every outcome. <\/p>\n
After seeking a fan’s perspective on Rising, it seems clear that he has been nothing short of a transformative player for Whittingham and his program. <\/p>\n
After Brant Kuithe was lost for the season to a torn ACL on Sept. 25, the assumption was the fifth-year senior tight end’s college career was over, but that assumption was shortsighted. <\/p>\n
If you’re an Utah fan, you know a ton about the Utes, but how much do you know about Penn State? I reached out to a few Pennsylvania journalists for some insight on Utah’s opponent.<\/p>\n
‘Unwavering belief’ has been the rallying cry down the stretch for this Utah team, which is apt because there have been plenty of ups and downs for the Utes to get back to this point.<\/p>\n
