Scouting Report Card: Grading Penn State’s Rose Bowl opponent

Let’s grade Utah’s 2022 season before Penn State faces them in the Rose Bowl.

Getting report cards on Penn State has been a common place for us all season, but this weekend for the Rose Bowl we are doing a different twist on things.

Utah is a team that is not often familiar to Big Ten teams and fanbases. The last memory they have of them is a Rose Bowl defeat last year where Ohio State tore them up through the air. Utah will have revenge on its mind while Penn State will be looking to end a strong season on an even better note.

Get to know this Utah team before things kickoff!

Grade: B

Utah quarterback Cam Rising is not projected to be a great or even average NFL quarterback but that doesn’t mean he isn’t perfect for Utah and its offense. He doesn’t turn the ball over, and he makes plays when he needs to but we haven’t seen him without Dalton Kincaid. He will have to find a new favorite target and if he can then things can be interesting.
