No matter what happens Friday night, no one should minimize the Utah football team’s achievement of winning the Pac-12 South title.
Even so, the No. 17 Utes know they need to maximize this opportunity, facing No. 10 Washington in the Pac-12 championship game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
If the Utes win, they will advance to the Rose Bowl on New year’s Day and earn a conference trophy. A loss would mean playing in a far less glamorous event in December and being known as just another South champion that failed in the end.
“We're going to be writing history,” Utah receiver Britain Covey said.
