Utah placed a big, risky bet when it nudged away Kyle Whittingham so that it could elevate a coach-in-waiting, Morgan Scalley. Rodger and Alex both thought this team would be worse this season. But instead, the Utes are undefeated contenders for both the Big 12 and the playoff, and their decision to show one of the best coaches in recent history the door is looking … pretty good? * 2:13: Why Utah has surprised both hosts * 8:18: The two-quarterback experiment at a weird time for it (but it works!) * 11:59: Remembering some Utes * 15:41: BYU’s rise and the pressure to move on from Whittingham * 26:24: The coach-in-waiting gamble and why Utah wanted Scalley * 45:41: Utah’s private equity deal and the cost of keeping up
