Northwestern at Utah

Holiday Bowls are supposed to be about offense, right?

Not this year. The Utes and Wildcats are all about defense.

15 years might separate Pat Fitzgerald and Kyle Whittingham, but they look like brothers and pretty much coach with the same philosophy.

This game is a toss-up, but Whittingham is 11-1 in bowls. He knows how to win these types of games.

Utah wins 14-10.
