1. Utah goes as Cam Rising goes
My Take: FACT
Coming into this season, Cam Rising and the Utah Utes had big expectations, including many predicting them to win the Big 12. On Saturday, as we have seen in past seasons, Cam Rising was injured. Although it was not a major injury and only kept Rising out for the second half against Baylor, it was a quick reminder that the Utes’ offense is much more productive with Rising than without. Utah failed to score in the second half once Rising went down, putting up 23 points in the first half as Rising went 8-14 for 92 yards and 2 TDs. If Utah wants to make noise this season, it will depend solely on Rising staying healthy.
