Rose Bowl: Joshua_Newman has analysis on Utah’s 48-45 loss to Ohio State, including Micah Bernard at CB, Bryson Barnes at QB2, the decision to use no timeouts on the last drive, and more.

Beyond the tears, this Utah football team will be remembered forever.

Bernard started at cornerback in the Rose Bowl, against Stroud and a high-powered passing attack. Ohio State ran 67 plays, Bernard was in there for the vast majority of them. He is a superior athlete, he is a smart football player, but it didn’t go well much of the time. As for those who asked throughout the game if there was someone who could relieve Bernard at CB, no, there was no one else. If there were someone else, that player would be playing. There was enough belief that Caine Savage and Elisha Lloyd were not the answers that Scalley, Shah and Whittingham looked across the roster for help. It’s not difficult to comprehend.

Barnes hit Covey for eight on third-and-9, then scrambled for 10 down to the Ohio State and after a pass interference call set Barnes up with fresh downs at the 15, he dropped a great ball to the back of the end zone for a Dalton Kincaid touchdown. Much of that youth played big roles this season. Bernard; Cole Bishop; Xavier Carlton; Van Fillinger; Faybian Marks; Clark Phillips III, who was excellent against Ohio State; Karene Reid; Pac-12 Defensive Freshman of the Year Junior Tafuna; Zemaiah Vaughn; Keaton Bills; and Devaughn Vele, and that was just a sampling of this season’s freshmen.

Photos from Ohio State's 48-45 Rose Bowl Win over UtahPhotos of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison Jr., C.J. Stroud and more. I still can’t get over what Smith-Ngijba did last night. The best performance from a WR I’ve ever seen in College Football. He didn’t do this against some FCS team, he did it on the biggest stage against a Utah team that played fast and physical all night. And to think he may have ended up with 400++ if he doesn’t fumble going into the endzone… unreal. Just insane by CJ7STROUD 🔥
