Asked what he hoped to learn Saturday against Idaho State in his Utah football team’s last nonconference game before visiting USC next Friday, Whittingham thought immediately of wanting to see kicker Jadon Redding attempt some field goals.
That makes sense, with the freshman having kicked only extra points after taking the job in the fourth quarter of the season opener. Yet those opportunities would require the Utes’ failing to finish drives, one of the reasons why Whittingham repeatedly has changed offensive coordinators in the past 10 years.
“I would like to see where Jadon Redding is, and give him a few shots,” Whittingham said.
