Changes? Utah's Kyle Whittingham embraces them. Plus, we talk skiing, motorcycles and flying flatbread!
He brings his Utes to Oklahoma State for a Saturday showdown.
(Quick note from me: this has been a crazy, busy week getting ready for two HUGE games on Saturday, so I’m just going to be honest: I’ve run out of juice and don’t have my normal transcript with this interview with Utah coach Kyle Whittingham. If you usually read the transcript instead of listening to the show, I hope you’ll give this one a listen. It’s short, only about 10 minutes, and I promise it’s worth your time. If nothing else, you’ll get to see the moment I tell Whittingham about a certain tortilla-throwing school in the Big 12.)
Kyle Whittingham is a motorcycle enthusiast who skis, boats, and plays tennis and golf.
But this week, he's pretty focused on one thing: beating Oklahoma State.
The Utah football coach joins me to talk about that match-up, moving into the Big 12 Conference and dealing with all the changes in college sports.
All that and much more now on The Jenni Carlson Show.
