IMO a win here almost assuredly saves Whit's job because you have to figure they can get #6 against Colorado and get a ****ty bowl opponent that will get Whit 7 wins including the bowl. A loss here and that hot seat gets even hotter.
Make no mistake, in regards of keeping his job, this is the biggest game Whit has ever faced.
If we take 6th wouldn't our ****ty bowl opponent be BYU?
