Perfection not needed in Utah's championship quest

SALT LAKE CITY — It was a recurring theme with head coach Kyle Whittingham and his players following Utah's 30-24 victory over Cal: the game wasn't perfect, but it was still a win.

"I'm really proud of the guys. We knew we were facing a good football team — a really good football team — and a quarterback that might be the best in the country as far as a pocket guy," Whittingham said. "It's great to see your kids with confidence and excitement."

"We pictured it to be a battle, and Cal did a great job of that," quarterback Travis Wilson said.
