The Utah vs. Ohio State live stream is almost here and it features two teams coming off very different results. While Utah State is excited about winning their conference title and earning their first ever trip to the Rose Bowl, the Buckeyes are looking to bounce back from a very disappointing loss to their rival.

Utah State Utes (10-3) are coming off a 38-10 win over Oregon State to win the Pac-12 Championship. Utah took control of the game early and led 23-0 at halftime, with sophomore running back Tavion Thomas scoring the first and last two touchdowns of the day.

Thomas led the offense with 20 touchdowns on the season, while the defense was led by third-years Devin Lloyd and Mike Tafua. Linebacker Lloyd has eight sacks on the year, and defensive end Tafua has beaten opposing quarterbacks 9 1/2 times.

The Ohio State University Buckeyes (10-2) are not where they thought they would be at this point. Instead of playing in the College Football Playoff, they are in Pasadena. The Buckeyes ended their season with a 42-27 loss to rival University of Michigan. The loss snapped an eight-game winning streak against the Wolverines.

One of the biggest tragedies of the Buckeyes missing the playoffs is that freshman quarterback C.J. Stroud will have to wait at least one more year to see if he can play on the big stage of college football. This past season, Stroud threw 38 touchdowns and just five interceptions to earn Big 10 Offensive Player of the Year honors and was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy.

Ohio State is a 4-point favorite against the University of Utah. The over/under is 64.
