Whittingham: Top-25 rankings for Utah, Utah State 'good for the state'

SALT LAKE CITY — With Utah and Utah State both ranked in the top 25 of the AP and Coaches polls, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham was asked about the state of college football in Utah during his Monday afternoon press conference.

More to the point, he was questioned about the Aggies’ success this season and whether he had personally reached out to USU coach Matt Wells with some sort of congratulations.

After some initial confusion and/or ribbing of the media — “you want me to send a congratulations text to him?” Whittingham asked — the Utes’ headman had nothing but praise.
