Utah football notebook: Kyle Whittingham hints Cam Rising’s readiness for Week 1 could be tight, says Utah is catching up with ‘blue bloods’ in NIL
Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham speaks at the NCAA college football Pac-12 media day Friday, July 21, 2023, in Las Vegas.Kyle Whittingham spent the past seven months assuring anyone who would listen that Cam Rising would be ready for Utah’s season-opener against Florida.But with just over a month before Aug. 31, Whittingham is now showing at least a little doubt about Rising’s readiness.
Whittingham largely skirted giving a firm answer on how many practices Rising needs in order to be named the starter. “Doing every single movement there is, every type of throw [in practice],” Rising said. “Trying to be ready to make sure [the knee is good]. Because come game time you never know what movements you’re going to make. Making sure whatever situation I’m put in, my body will be ready to go.”“We certainly don’t want to put him out there prematurely or before he’s ready,” he said. “Which I’m sure [the medical staff] won’t do…. I’ve got all the confidence in the world in Cam. But that’s not our call.
Oregon is obviously a major player. But if media day was any indicator, it looks like Utah might also step into a bigger role in being a public voice on issues around the league.outspoken several times in talking about the media rights deal.“The commissioner is a great leader, he’s the right guy to be forging ahead for this conference to continue,” Whittingham said. “Obviously waiting for the TV deal to come out. It’s going to be good. I don’t have any insight. But we’re here.
“I met him for the first time during spring meetings,” Whittingham said. “Great guy, very personable obviously. Had a conversation with him. It is very interesting what he is doing obviously. With the rules structured as they are, and the program in the state it was in, why wouldn’t you try something like that? It makes sense.”Whittingham started his day in Las Vegas by saying he “could not care” about Utah being picked third in the Pac-12 preseason poll.
