As expected, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham was reluctant to offer any sort of handicap about his team's upcoming quarterback competition. Coaches enjoy answering questions about quarterback competitions the way Stanford's David Shaw enjoys answering questions about the Wildcat.
But Whittingham did offer a nugget that might help determine a pecking order as the Utes head into spring football later next month. A trio of quarterbacks -- Brandon Cox, Troy Williams and Tyler Huntley -- will look to replace Travis Wilson, who accounted for 75 touchdowns (54 throwing, 21 rushing) during his four-year career.
