The Rose Bowl Fucking ROCKED
Holy hell, that game was awesome. I was told earlier today the players don't care about games like this because they're entitled or some other nonsense like that, but someone forgot to tell the players on Ohio State and Utah that.

Utah got up 14 points four different times in the game. The two teams scored six touchdowns in the second quarter. Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in 15 passes for an insane 346 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The lead went back and forth late in the fourth quarter. This game rocked.
This was everything you could have wanted out of a Rose Bowl. Credit to Ohio State — particularly C.J. Stroud and Smith-Njigba — for getting off the mat more than a handful of times and battling all the way back to get this win down several key guys.
Of course, this being a game between No. 6 and No. 11 sparked people talking about how great it would have been if this was first round game of a 12-team College Football Playoff. These are the same people who say games like this don't matter because all the teams and fans care about is the Playoff. Then they get an amazing Rose Bowl and immediately talk about the Playoff. Can't we just enjoy an awesome college football game?
That game was awesome. Both teams left everything out there and gave us the game of Bowl Season.
