Both Utah, Pittsburgh enter Fiesta with a big chip.(East Valley (Ariz.) Tribune)
Byline: Dan Zeiger
TEMPE, Ariz. _ Already boasting a 34-year history of being a trendsetter in the college bowl business, the Fiesta Bowl appears to have done it again.
With Saturday night's game between Pittsburgh and Utah, the folks in the bright yellow blazers have managed another milestone, as no bowl in history has had a matchup more appropriate for its title sponsor.
The Fiesta Bowl's sponsor is Tostitos. And both teams arrived in Tempe with huge chips on their shoulders.
Insert rim shot and laugh track here.
However, both the Panthers and Utes see the field at Sun Devil Stadium as a 100-yard stage on which to prove legitimacy.
"Both teams have a reason to have a chip on their shoulder, darn right," said Utah coach Urban Meyer, who takes over coaching duties at Florida after tonight's game.
