The Utes now get a second straight opportunity to win the program’s first-ever Rose Bowl against a Top 10 opponent in Penn State.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I’m joined by ‘Locked On Utes’ host JT Wistrcill.

JT and I discuss what it means for Utah to have finally broken through the glass ceiling in the Pac-12 in back-to-back seasons and what it might mean going forward.

We go through just how Utah came back after trailing 17-3 against USC to win comfortably for their second straight conference championship.

The Trojans had their Heisman-level quarterback making explosive plays and were moving the ball almost at will as they jumped out to a 17-3 lead.

Then Utah woke up in a big way in Saturday’s Pac-12 Championship Game and snatched away USC’s College Football Playoff hopes in a 47-24 victory.
