Rose Bowl loss wasn't a loss for the Utes

it’s Micah Bernard . The freshman not only pulling in a circus, fingertip catch in the corner, but leading the Utes defense with 10 tackles as a fill-in corner back.

No, I got it. It has to be the walk-on freshman from Milford, who most had no idea was even number 2 on the depth chart coming in and making an immediate mark. Bryson Barnes filling in for an injured Rising and throwing a touchdown pass to tie the game is a story he’ll be able to regale his grandkids with, no matter how the rest of his career goes.

But that’s what halftime is for. Making adjustments, and Buckeyes coach Ryan Day certainly did. Other than Barnes’ 15-yard connection to Dalton Kinkaid with 1:54 left, Ohio State failed to give up another touchdown the rest of the way. While on the offensive side, unleashed a pair of playmakers that will go down in history as perhaps the most dynamic performance from any duo in bowl history. And I’m not talking about the Rose Bowl — I’m talking about any bowl — ever.

Targeting the fill-in, Bernard, the sophomore broke a bowl record with an unheard of 347 yards on 15 catches; while their Heisman-finalist quarterback, C.J. Stroud, came within just a few yards of former BYU legend Ty Detmer’s bowl passing record set 32 years ago against Penn State.
