Football Will Play USC in Las Vegas on Christmas Day

November 28, 2001

From snowfall, eggnog and wrapping paper to casinos, strip clubs and Elvis impersonators, it's an odd confluence of circumstances that will define the Utah football team's Christmas day this year, but it's one the Utes are plenty happy to accept. After all, before the 7-3 Utes have even concluded their 2001 schedule, they now know it will be extended by at least one game, having accepted the Las Vegas Bowl's invitation to play the USC Trojans on Dec.

To compete with No. 22 ranked Alabama Monday night on ESPN2, the Utah men's basketball team needed to have an answer for the Crimson Tide's quickness and defensive pressure. Utah also had to combat its own shooting problems that led to a 78-65 loss to Utah State last Friday.

The Utah football team plays the Air Force Academy this weekend in Colorado Springs, Colo. For the record, I hope Utah wins. The Utes have more riding on the game than Air Force does. Also, I would point out that my older brother attended the Air Force Academy.
