Everyone who follows Pac-12 football was blown away by Kyle Whittingham at Pac-12 media day on Friday. Whittingham, among all the Pac-12 coaches, was the star of the show. Both in his appearance and in his comments, Whittingham made the biggest splash and made the most news at this one-day event in Las Vegas.
