Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Utah and head coach Kyle Whittingham have agreed to terms on a four-year contract, the school announced on Friday. Ray Spalding Suns Jersey . Whittingham will earn $2.6 million in 2015, and will receive a $100,000 raise each year through the length of the deal. Utah finished last season with a 9-4 mark, which included a 45-10 win over Colorado State in the Las Vegas Bowl. The successful campaign saw the Utes finish 21st in the final poll of the season. We appreciate the confidence and commitment the University of Utah has shown our program, said Whittingham. We have a talented team returning for the 2015 season and were excited about the future of Utah football. The number one priority right now is finishing up another outstanding recruiting class. Whittingham has been head coach of Utah since 2005, posting an 85-43 record during that time, which included a 13-0 season in 2008 capped on a Sugar Bowl victory over Alabama. He was awarded coach of the year honors that season. Charles Barkley Suns Jersey . -- The Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets will forever be tied together for making the same spectacular misjudgment on budding NBA sensation Jeremy Lin. Aron Baynes Suns Jersey . Appearing on TSN 690 Monday afternoon, Mike Babcock said he had conversations with both P.K. Subban and Carey Price about those on-ice traits during Hockey Canadas summer orientation camp. Mike Babcock: McGill experience, P.TORONTO - Ricky Rays on a roll, and he knows it. The veteran quarterback has a completion average approaching 90 per cent over his last three starts and is a big reason why Toronto is the CFLs hottest team. Thats not exactly good news for an injury-plagued Calgary Stampeders squad that will face the Argonauts at Rogers Centre tonight. Watch the game live NOW on TSN and TSN Mobile TV, beginning with the pre-game show. You can also listen to the game live NOW on TSN Radio Toronto 1050. Ray, 33, has completed 64-of-73 passes his last three starts for 851 yards and eight touchdowns. He finished 30-of-35 passing for 413 yards and three TDs in Torontos 36-33 home win over Edmonton on Sunday and is second overall in passing with 1,768 yards with 14 TDs and no interceptions. And the 11-year veteran, whos in his second season with Toronto, says he can feel hes in the groove. "Yeah, just because things are going well and were making a lot of plays," he said. "We had a couple of games early on in the year where things were a little bit tougher to come by and we werent making as many plays so definitely you feel like youre doing a lot of good things out there." This season, Ray has completed 143-of-183 passes, a 78.1 per cent clip. Calgary offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson holds the single-season record of 74 per cent set in 05 with B.C. Dickenson also set the CFL passer-efficiency record of 118.8 that season but Rays boasts a mark of 133.0 thus far. Toronto (5-2) heads into a rematch of last years Grey Cup having won four straight. "I dont think it slows down, I think in a sense Im just able to make quicker decisions," Ray said. "Im just seeing things good right now and am able to get the ball out of my hands without second-guessing or holding on to the ball. "Thats when I feel like Im playing good when Im just back there making quick decisions and letting it come out of my hands." That actually started late last season after Ray missed three games with a knee injury. Toronto lost 44-32 to Winnipeg in Rays return but ended its campaign with five straight wins, including a 35-22 decision over Calgary in the 100th Grey Cup at Rogers Centre. "I think it started towards the end of last year but I think its carried over and hes maybe taken it a step higher so far this year," Argos head coach Scott Milanovich said. "Ricky seems to be on the same page with the new receivers, particularly John (Chiles), and picked up where he left off with the other guys and Jason Barnes has kind of started hot like he finished last year. "I think the combination of all those things has contributed to Rickys numbers and play." Ray has also received solid protection up front as Torontos offensive line has allowed a league-low 12 sacks, one less than second-place Calgary.. Jason Kidd Jersey. "We watched games from early last year, even Week 2 when we played Calgary, and you can see the difference in his feet," Milanovich said. "A quarterbacks accuracy, in my opinion, is all based on his footwork and body position. "He was getting hit at that time last year and just wasnt as comfortable in the pocket and that can affect your accuracy. This year weve been protecting him much better." Calgary (5-2) wont be at full strength Friday night. Veteran slotback Nik Lewis, a perennial 1,000-yard receiver, is out after suffering a fractured fibula in last weeks 26-22 loss to B.C. Receiver Maurice Price (ankle), offensive lineman Dimitri Tsoumpas (concussion) and running back Jon Cornish (thigh contusion) also wont play. The loss of Cornish — last years CFL rushing leader whos second this year with 749 yards — is huge. Among the Stampeders on the nine-game injured list are receivers Johnny Forzani, Joe West and Chris Bouman, offensive lineman Edwin Harrison and defensive linemen Etienne Legare and Corey Mace. "Chris (Argos defensive co-ordinator Chris Jones) will still have to stop the run against Calgary, whether Jon plays or not," Milanovich said. "Thats been their MO and what they like to hang their hat on. "But after a week like we had last week youve also got to expect them to test our secondary. I still believe any defence has to stop the run first and make a team one dimensional." Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly completed 35-of-46 passes Sunday for 511 yards and three TDs. With just four returning starters, the Argos defence has struggled to establish consistency. But while Toronto is ranked last in yards allowed (416 per game), its third in fewest points surrendered (24.9 per game). "Right now, honestly, I think its similar to the way we were offensively last year," Milanovich said. "I think what Chris is going through right now is just figuring out exactly where we want to have guys playing and what they do best. "It takes time. Once you start to get good at something teams adjust. Its just a constant kind of thing during the season where you have to keep moving and keep changing what you do . . . I have a lot of confidence in where our defence is going." Calgarys defence — which features former Argos defensive lineman Kevin Huntley — is allowing the second-fewest yards per game (322.7) and is fourth in points allowed (26.6). Torontos offence is second overall in scoring (32.9 points per game) and tops in passing (325.9 yards). "They do a lot of things to keep you off balance," Ray said. "They dont let you scheme things up against them and let you beat them with scheme. "They keep you off balance and keep you guessing on what plays you need to call." ' ' '
