    There will be a statue of Kyle Whittingham at Rice-Eccles Stadium, it is only a matter of time.

    Actual living legend. He's grinding down the entire system. He'll do it all over again from the Big 12.

    I couldn't have been blessed with a more awesome program to be associated with my whole life. We've had season tickets since the 90's! Rice Eccles is going to be rocking today! Utes 28-24 🙌

    Great video. If i could add a few things.
    Utah didn't have to look hard to find Jonah Ellis, his father Luther Ellis is an all time Utah great. Luther played under Ron McBride. It was McBride and staff that laid the foundation for the run first, play tough defense identity that is Utah. Kyle Whittingham was on that staff. I'd also credit McBride with expanding and emphasising the Polynesian recruiting pipeline. Speaking of run first and Polynesians, look up Chris Fuamatu-Maʻafala. That should give you a good idea of where this all started.

      100% McBride kicked off the culture that's present at Utah now. Whittingham learned from him for almost a decade as the defensive coordinator. Luther Elliss is Utah's defensive tackles coach for a second season.

    Any football aficionado and or profitable gambler has respected Utah once they defeated Bama in 09 Sugar Bowl back when everyone played and took Bowl Games seriously. Bama squad had Mark Ingram and Julio Jones and was held to 2 TDs. Because of its location and relatively small market and given where other schools are located within the Pac12 it’s often under appreciated by the avg joe but make no mistake opponents don’t undervalue the Utes they’ll get your undivided attention.

    Utah has been a continual threat to all their opponents, for a long time. As a Duck fan, I am not confident about the outcome of today’s game (20231028).

      When two teams are about evenly matched if the home team has an advantage at QB & HC you take the home team. Hence why Washington over Oregon was the obvious play. Utah has HC advantage not QB advantage but top to bottom Oregon has health on their side and more overall talent. This is going to be a weird game, I don’t trust Bo Nix or Lanning in close games on the road, stay away game as a bettor.

    Agree. Utah didn’t look good against Oregon in 2023, but Utah will remain a good team moving into the Big 12 and will win a lot of games.

    I really loved this video. It was both informative and just really good.... very good... great. However... if Kyle Whittingham had this team in the Big 10 (I'm an Ohio State fan), they would look like Iowa.... and no one thinks of Iowa as a powerhouse.
    Look... I'm not trying to downplay anything that Utah or Whittingham have done. I'm not. I really love what they do. It reminds me of Kirk Ferentz... only Whittingham seems to be able to have good offenses.

      Quite frankly everyone is sick of USC. The school of spoiled children killed the PAC-12 to be a mid team in the Big 10, just because the athletic director wanted a big payday.

    That Oregon game would’ve been better if they were at 100%. Would they have won? Maybe. Oregon was too good for our bench.
