SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah football player got a phone call during the middle of a team huddle at practice this week.
Offensive lineman Kyle Lanterman wasn't the one who answered, though. Coach Kyle Whittingham did.
As the kneeling players listened in, Whittingham picked up the loudly ringing phone and responded.
"Mrs. Lanterman? Coaching Whittingham," he said. "Nothing bad? Everything good?"
Coach Whitt then asked Lanterman to come in front of the team for a surprise and put the phone on speaker for the player's mom to break some news.
"Hey, Mom," Lanterman said.
