As the Pac-12 South race develops, could the Pac-12′s replay controversy end up hurting the Utes?

Utah coach Kyle Whittingham came away from a conversation with commissioner Larry Scott feeling reassured about the Pac-12's officiating method of reviewing plays during football games.

Here’s how: If the Utes win Saturday, they would be tied with USC at 3-2 in conference play and own the tiebreaker with the Trojans.
