SALT LAKE CITY— As the No. 13 Utah Utes prepare to welcome Kansas State to Rice-Eccles Stadium, head coach Kyle Whittingham addressed the media to discuss his team’s performance against Baylor and other topics.
Utah comes out of the bye week clear-eyed about where it stands and what comes next. The Utes are 7–2, ranked No. 13 in the CFP, and still firmly in the Big 12 title hunt — but as Kyle Whittingham emphasized repeatedly, the margin for error is gone.
