Kyle Whittingham was a guest speaker at an institute class on Tuesday night — one attended by enough students to fill an entire chapel and two adjacent gymnasiums.

Whittingham, the fourth-year head football coach at the University of Utah, addressed hundreds of Salt Lake University Institute of Religion students as part of the "Last Lecture" series.

The coach was accompanied by former Ute safety and current assistant coach Morgan Scalley as well as two seniors on the team, Bradon Godfrey and R.J. Rice. The speakers used the forum to reinforce gospel principles while sharing experiences from their football careers to provide a framework for their spiritual messages.
