LOS ANGELES (AP) — After Penn State found out it was heading to the Rose Bowl, Sean Clifford posted a photo of him in front of the stadium when he was 11 years old and said, “dreams come true.” Utah’s Cameron Rising nearly made his dream become a reality last year of leading his team to a victory in the “Granddaddy of Them All,” only to see it fall short. On Monday, Clifford and Rising will look to lead their respective teams to a win when the ninth-ranked Nittany Lions face the No. 7 Utes in the 109th edition of the Rose Bowl.
