Can the Ute football team fulfill its preseason forecasts? History says yes.

Kyle Whittingham's words are predictable. When his Utah football team is picked No. 1 in the Pac-12 South in the conference's official media poll next week, he will say something like, “We haven't done anything yet.”

That’s in contrast to former Ute coach Urban Meyer’s saying in a 2004 promotional campaign, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”

The accompanying question is how much Whittingham would have to be paid to participate in any effort to raise expectations, going into a season. If the avowed classic rock fan chose a song to frame his approach to preparing for 2019, he would be more likely to pick Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” than Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet.
