Kenny Dillingham Wants To Be Like Utah's Kyle Whittingham For ASU

Kyle Whittingham is continuing to get flowers from his peers

Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham is known as one of the best coaches in college football, with Urban Meyer even calling him the best in college football recently.

Ahead of their Week 10 matchup against Arizona State, Sun Devils head coach Kenny Dillingham had high praise for Whittingham as well. The first-year head coach revealed that when he ran into the Utes' head coach at Pac-12 media day he expressed to him that he would like to have the same kind of impact that Whittingham has had at Utah at Arizona State.

Whittingham has been at Utah in some capacity since 1994, and was hired as the head coach in 2005. He has since built the program into one of the best in the country, and they are continually improving in the ever changing landscape that is college football. 

The Utes are favored by 10.5 points, but the 2-6 Sun Devils have been frisky of late. They beat Washington State by double digits last week, held No, 5 Washington to 15 points the week prior, and pushed USC to the brink when they played.

Utah will need a strong showing from their offense this weekend, otherwise they may fall victim to an upset.
