Kyle Whittingham rolls onto Pat McAfee Show set on a motorcycle, arm wrestles McAfee
Kyle Whittingham showed up to The Pat McAfee Show set on Friday in the most amazing way possible.
The Utah head football coach rolled in on a motorcycle wearing a cutoff hoodie — McAfee is known for rarely wearing sleeved shirts — with sunglasses and a hat turned backward. Fans immediately broke out in a “We love Whitt” chant.
The fun didn’t end there, though. Once Whittingham sat down at the desk, fans started calling for him and McAfee to arm wrestle. Whittingham almost immediately obliged.
The Man.
The Myth.
The Legend.@UtahCoachWhitt rolls up to the @PatMcAfeeShow like only he could. 😎@Utah_Football | #GoUtes pic.twitter.com/NvzBwp7twW— Utah Athletics (@utahathletics) October 27, 2023
McAfee and the rest of the ESPN crew are in Salt Lake City ahead of Saturday’s top-15 matchup with the Oregon Ducks.
The Utes (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12) have rediscovered themselves, so to speak, since the bye week. In the two games since, Utah’s defense has looked rejuvenated while the offense has finally found something of an identity. With the Ducks coming to town, Utah has a chance to continue its push for a third Pac-12 title while making things extremely difficult on the Ducks.
Both teams carry one league loss into the matchup. Washington is unbeaten. Utah will get its shot at the Huskies, but a second loss before that would take things out of Utah’s control a bit more. The same can be said for the Ducks. A second loss, with USC and Oregon State still on the docket, would have the Ducks doing a bit of scoreboard-watching down the stretch.
Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. PT on FOX.
