proved to be too much for the Pac-12 Champions to overcome in Pasadena.
But despite his overwhelming praise for Stroud, the Utes' head coach remained firmly focused on the shortcomings of his own team relative to their failure to win the football game. "If we could have gotten behind the chains at least one time, but other than that all we would have been doing was helping their cause" Whittingham explained to reporters. "We had been making first downs, second and short — and they only had one timeout left, so I didn't want to help them out. It was kind of a catch 22... had we got them behind the chains — second and long, third and long — then absolutely it was in the back of my mind.
"We had three of our top four corners down, that's no excuse because you have to play with who you have healthy," Whittingham said.
