The No. 19 Utes (10-2, 7-1 MWC) are gearing up for their Dec. 22 clash with No. 10 Boise State (11-1, 7-1 WAC) in the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas on Wednesday, Dec. 22 at 5:00 p.m. PT in Sam Boyd Stadium. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN. The broadcast team will be Brent Musburger, Kirk Herbstreit and Tom Rinaldi.
Utah arrived in Las Vegas on Saturday and held a practice at the UNLV training facility. Sunday, the team participated in a reception at the Hard Rock Café and then attended the show Mystere by Cirque Du Soleil at Treasure Island. Here is a photo gallery of the team reception.
The Utes will hold another practice this afternoon and will then join Boise State in the Outback Buffet Bowl on Fremont Street.
Utah and Boise State are preparing for the 19th edition of the Las Vegas Bowl. Utah has a 2-0 Las Vegas Bowl record, with wins over Fresno State in 1999 and USC in 2001. Boise State makes its first Las Vegas Bowl appearance.
Utah owns the nation's longest active bowl win streak at nine games (1999, 2001, 2003-2009). The nine-straight wins ties Utah for the second-longest bowl win streak of all time with USC, which won nine straight spanning from 1923-45. Florida State holds the record with 11 consecutive bowl wins (1985-96).
Utah's current bowl win streak began in Las Vegas in 1999 against Fresno State. Utah's next bowl game and bowl win was also in Las Vegas--against USC in 2001. Utah is 12-3 all-time in bowl games and its 80-percent postseason success rate is the best in the nation among teams that have played in at least 10 bowl games.
