Happy. Thrilled. Those are the words Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham used to describe the successes of his former program, Utah, which is fresh off of a top-15 win that catapulted the Utes to No. 6 in the AP Top 25 rankings and solidified their status as the Big 12’s best College Football Playoff hope.
And the words and phrases currently associated with Whittingham’s Wolverines? Disappointing, which Whittingham used to describe the outcome of a pivotal third-and-goal play from the 1-yard line in a 13–6 overtime loss to Indiana. Panic, which Whittingham said “it’s not time to” when asked if he’d potentially make a change at offensive coordinator to ignite a stagnant offense.
