-Perfect in the red zone, said he doesn’t count that last drive.

-Run defense was bad in the first half.

-He highlighted Rising and Phillips’ performances.

-Whittingham likes the 12:30PM PST time.

-When it comes to the slow starts, you judge the game in its entirety, not segments.

-DTR is playing his best football.

-The ability of Jonah Elliss and Connor O’Toole to cover tight ends, allows Utah to do 5 DL lineups. This will continue to be a package.

-Whittingham was happy with how the receivers performed. Although, three catches was too little for Kincaid. He needs to be more featured. It wasn’t anything that OSU did.

-The offense adjusted well to Kuithe’s absence.

-OSU had good schemes, forcing the weaker rushing performance.

-Bernard has been a little banged up, but they want him out there more. He’s their most well-rounded back.

-Barring setbacks, Tavion is improving on accountability and other things, in order to get into the field and increase his workload. (Alex take: I’ve heard Tavion is trying a little more and that’s great. At the same time, what else is Whittingham going to say? He always defends his guys publicly which is what you’d want to see)

-A team needs to be on that upward trajectory from game 1 to game 12 if they want to win a championship.

-When you watch film, the game slows down. Phillips does an outstanding job studying film.

-Diabate was rusty, but they were happy to see him back and pleased with some things.

-Whittingham believes the early coaching firings have everything to do with early signing day.

-Coaches make enough that they need to perform or else they’re expendable. It’s also become a win-now situation.
