Three months from now Whit will have a better record vs BYU than LaVell had vs Utah.

LaVell's record vs Utah was 22-7 (.759).

Whit is 9-3 (.750) vs BYU. In a little over a year Whit will be 11-3 (.785) vs BYU.

LaVell collected most of his wins over Utah during the low point in Utah's football history (70's and 80's). You can't say the same about Whit vs BYU.

Once McBride showed up and Utah decided football was worth investing in Utah played LaVell almost straight up - LaVell was 6-5 vs Utah after McBride showed up in 1990.
