SALT LAKE CITY — With the Pac-12 South division won and the winner of the Apple Cup (Washington-Washington State) awaiting in the conference championship game — to be played at Levi’s Stadium on Nov. 30 — there has been considerable debate about whether or not the Utes should rest players in this weekend’s contest against BYU.
According to Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham there isn’t the slightest chance.
“I’ve heard several people say you should do whatever you can to maximize your chances for the championship game and that is not our approach,” he said. “Our approach is one game at a time and we aren’t looking past (BYU), just like we wouldn’t look past any game that’s on our schedule.
