Penn State-Utah opt outs: Players who won't play in Rose Bowl Game

The Penn State Nittany Lions will take on the Utah Utes in the Rose Bowl on Monday evening, with kickoff slated for 5 p.m. EST on ESPN, which will wrap up the last full day of bowl action for the 2022-23 season.

Being so deep into the season, with Utah having played 13 games and Penn State the traditional 12, neither team is coming into this at full strength due to injuries, transfers or potential NFL opt outs. Granted, since this is such an iconic bowl game, the opt-outs are less than they would be in a normal bowl game.
