Take a look at some of the best photos so far from the University of Utah’s Rose Bowl week activities

The Utes will play in the school’s first ever Rose Bowl on Saturday afternoon

Kyle Whittingham and the Utes lined up outside the Rose Bowl on Thursday afternoon, just days away from making the school’s debut in the historic New Year’s Day bowl game, for a team photo to memorialize the historic moment for the Utah football team.

The Utes will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday afternoon. But there has been plenty of action already in the days leading up to the big game.

Here are some of our favorite photos from the week so far.
