be BYU" Whittingham has pleasant memories of Provo He hooked on at BYU as a relative coaching novice — one year at the high school level after a nine-yeplaying career in the NFL — but left with an impressive resume While he was the Cougs" defensive coordinator BYU never finished lower than third in the WAC in total defense and led the conference in 1979 "Fred's a great football coach" said BYU coach LaVell Edwards "He's a quiet guy but he's intense he's well prepared and he works hard He's got all the elements that a good coach needs to have" Ron McBride noticed those same qualities when he hired Whittingham last spring "He's a smart football guy" said the 'Ute coach "Fred knows where he's going and how to get there He's a man of few words and a lot of action" Whittingham had no trouble gaining his players' respect But as he's transformed Utah from a gambling attacking defense into a outfit the Utes have taken some lumps "We've concentrated on two things — keeping the other team out of the end zone and winning the conversion battle" said lit'hittingham "If we ever do that consistently we'll win a ' championship" Still the Utes seem to be getting there Despite missing four starters with injuries they limit ed Wyoming's potent offense to just 240 total yards in last Sat urday's 38-- victory over the ' Cowboys Utah now ranks third in the WAC in total defense (3389 yards per game) second in scoring defense (227 points per contest) "We haven't turned the corner but we're coming around the bend" said Whittingham won't turn the corner until the players have a total under
