Cam Rising still considered a game-time decision for Utah

Utah fans have seen this one before. Star quarterback, Cam Rising, is officially considered a game-time decision.

Utah QB Cam Rising is a game-time decision vs. Arizona, per ESPN sources. A decision will again be made after monitoring how Rising throws and feels in warm-ups. https://t.co/BYIdA8EtEj

Rising went through a pre-game process last week to see how the finger and hand held up on game day. Utah will take that same approach with Rising’s injured finger for tonight’s game.

With last week’s decision, Isaac Wilson made his first Big 12 start on the road in a hostile environment. It seems like he’ll make his second Big 12 start tonight and third start in five games overall this season.

At linebacker Sione Fotu, Johnathan Hall continue to play well

At linebacker, Utah veteran Karene Reid suffered an injury late in the Baylor game and he’s been out of action since.

The good news is that Sione Fotu and Johnathan Hall have both filled in tremendously. They each played a big role in limiting Oklahoma State’s ground game to a season-low of 48 yards.

Expect Fotu and Hall to continue to man the middle of the field for Utah tonight as well.

Utah’s depth at defensive end remains a plus

Defensive end Connor O’Toole suffered an injury fairly early on against Utah State. He exited that game and missed last week’s contest as well.

O’Toole is not expected to be available tonight but may test things out pre-game.

In his absence, Logan Fano and Van Fillinger have continued to bear the bulk of the responsibility off the edge.

Both Paul Fitzgerald and John Henry Daley notched snaps against Utah State and will provide the depth behind those two starters.
