SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Head coach Kyle Whittingham was hoisted by the Utah football players after their 35-21 win over No. 18 Arizona State.
Normally after a win, the team will gather in the locker room and sing the Utah fight song and will dump water all over the room but not this time.
The team started dancing and cheering in the locker room before the players lifted him up on their shoulders.
