Not so much for what he could have done at BYU but more for what a good Utah

Yep. The utes would have hired their offensive coordinator that ended up a dud

I don’t buy the idea that he’d be as good here

Had he got started here, with Lavell mentoring him he would have done very well.

I thought part of it was Whit didn't want to deal with the HC

I would say Utah being in the Pac 12 has been more of a factor than Whitt

Before the "invite", BYU led 3-2. But before Utah actually joined the Pac-12, 3-3. The teams were pretty evenly matched.

Bradley’s knee was down. Should have been 4-2 🙂
