The Ohio State football team takes on Utah in the Rose Bowl on Saturday evening. It’s going to be a tough game to win for both teams. This is the most formidable opponent Utah has faced all year, and Ohio State lost to a team that the Utes beat twice.

It should be a close game throughout and something that both fanbases enjoy watching. It does seem that Utah fans want it a little bit more than Buckeye fans, but I’m sure that will change by the day of the game. Buckeye fans will want Ohio State to end the season on a positive note.

This is the type of game that could have some wild things happen in it. Both teams are evenly matched, so one team is going to have to do something extraordinary to win this game. Execution is going to have to be precise for the Buckeyes if they want to win this game.

I’ve come up with three bold predictions for this contest. It’s the Rose Bowl, so we know it’s a big game. Some of these predictions are good for Ohio State, and some are bad. Either way, these are all predictions that while bold, can still reasonably happen in this one.

We already went over three keys for victory for the Buckeyes. If some of these predictions turn out to be true, that could spell doom for them. That is especially true with my first prediction, which has to do with the Utah offense.
