SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah football team is in the midst of one of its toughest stretches of losing it’s seen under Kyle Whittingham. After losing to Washington on Saturday, the Utes have lost six of seven games and face a must win at home against Colorado to become bowl eligible.
It’s a staggering turn to the season after the team started 4-0, and appeared to have skipped the rebuilding process, with fans hoping their team would compete for a conference championship.
Close losses to USC and Stanford did little to sway fans optimism, other than to pine for the return of sophomore quarterback Tyler Huntley after starting Troy Williams during the two losses.
