The No.8-seeded Utah Utes take on the No.11-seeded Penn State Nittany Lions in the 109th edition of the Rose Bowl.

However you feel about the changes to the college football playoff system and the Rose Bowl's place in it, there's no question that this is the end of a long and storied era. It's a cool evening in Pasadena, and you can read on as we explain how to get a Penn State vs Utah live stream so you can watch Rose Bowl 2023 online from anywhere.

For as long as it's existed, the Rose Bowl has always been the most prestigious event in college football. However, after Penn State vs Utah it will become a college playoff game like any other. The East vs West days are almost over, but Kyle Whittingham and James Franklin can give the fixture the sendoff it deserves.

The Utes' first ever Rose Bowl appearance 12 months ago was one for the ages, a game that inexplicably flipped on its head in the final quarter, set new records, and ultimately ended in heartbreak for Whittingham's men. Quarterback Cam Rising has far more experience to draw upon this time, but even more crucially, there's no defensive injury crisis to deal with.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the Nittany Lions. Top receiver Parker Washington picked up a season-ending injury in November and has since declared for the NFL Draft, as has star cornerback Joey Porter Jr. However, with the two-headed monster of Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen tearing up the field, they've got a puncher's chance, and veteran quarterback Sean Clifford lifting the Leishman Trophy after six years at Penn State would be quite some story.
