Kyle Whittingham Declares Utah's Culture Is 'Whatever It Takes to Win'
For those that haven't been paying attention to Utah, they may look at the No. 12 team in the country's 2-0 record and assume everything is going as planned.
However, that is far from the case for the Utes as they have been winning despite being ravished by injuries. They haven't had star quarterback Cam Rising, or tight end Brant Kuithe, and have also had some injuries on the defensive side of the ball.
They've used a duo of quarterbacks to win with Bryson Barnes paving the way to victory against Florida, and Nate Johnson emerging as the hero late against Baylor. Something that head coach Kyle Whittingham has tabbed as what can only be a perfect representation of Utah's culture.

“Our culture is, hey, whatever it takes to win, it doesn’t matter,” Whittingham said Sirius XM Pac-12 Radio. “Some weeks it’s going to be more reliant on one phase than the other and that’s just part of the deal and you can’t you can’t complain or whine or, you know, point fingers. It only leads to compounding the problems and so, I think we’ve got a great group that understands hey, if offense isn’t clicking, defense, you gotta you gotta carry the load.”
Luckily for Utah, they get a break in the schedule in a way, as after playing gritty Power 5 programs they will host in-state Weber State.
