You probably haven't watched an excessive amount of Utah football this year.
Even Ryan Day himself said Sunday that he hadn't seen much of the Utes prior to learning that they would be the Buckeyes' Rose Bowl opponent come New Year's Day, and Ohio State's head coach said he didn't watch the Pac-12 Championship Game between Utah and Oregon this past Friday.
But just because they've flown under the radar doesn't mean the Utes are any less threatening a season-ending foe for the Buckeyes, who will be entering the matchup on the heels of an emotional loss that effectively kept them out of the College Football Playoff – where Ohio State would much prefer to be playing by the start of the new year.
