The Utah and Utah State football teams go bowling on Saturday, and the BYU women's volleyball team has a chance to win a national championship.
It's USU vs. Texas-El Paso in the New Mexico Bowl (12:20 p.m., ESPN), which will overlap with Utah vs. Colorado State in the Las Vegas Bowl (1:30 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4).
At 5:30 p.m. on ESPN2, BYU faces defending national champion Penn State in the finals of the NCAA women's volleyball tournament. Just getting there is a huge accomplishment for the Cougar, who went into the tourney unseeded. A win would be enormous.
