SAN DIEGO — Few coaches have had the postseason success of Utah’s Kyle Whittingham. In fact, a Whittingham-led team is nearly perfect in the postseason — an 11-1 bowl record — since he’s taken on the top job with the Utes.
Whittingham doesn’t brag about himself, but he touts the record as the embodiment of all the hard work his players put in each year to close out every season on a high note. That focus and discipline from players has given the Utes a five-game winning streak in recent bowl games.
Moreover, Utah has never lost a bowl game since joining the Pac-12 eight years ago.
