The Deseret News is providing live coverage from today’s Rose Bowl Game between Utah and Ohio State. Follow along for updates throughout the day.

2nd Quarter

  • 14:17 — There’s the Ohio State offense that everyone expected. C.J. Stroud had a couple of nice passes on that drive, a 30-yard pass to Emeka Egbuka, who did a good job of keeping his feet inbounds, and then a 25-yard touchdown pass to the corner of the end zone, caught by Marvin Harrison Jr.

1st Quarter

Utah 14, Ohio State 0
  • It’s a dream start for Utah in the first quarter. Andy Ludwig calls a great opening quarter, Cam Rising went 6 for 8 and threw two touchdowns, and Utah’s defense forced OSU to punt two times.

3:28 — Utah has scored on two consecutive possessions, as Micah Bernard, who is also spending some time at cornerback today, hauls in a 12-yard pass from Cam Rising in the corner of the end zone. Utah got tricky on the eight-play, 67-yard drive, as Covey got the ball, dropped back to pass, but decided to run for eight yards. Rising also threw a 27-yard pass to Brant Kuithe to begin the drive.

  • 9:22 — Cam Rising hits Britain Covey for a 19-yard touchdown pass, and Utah strikes first. TJ Pledger got a few carries on the drive, and pass interference committed by Ohio State set up the Rising to Covey connection.
  • We are underway from Rose Bowl Stadium. Utah won the coin toss and elected to receive.
