TEMPE, Arizona – Kyle Whittingham and his Utah football program have traveled south for a Friday night matchup with the Arizona State Sun Devils.
The Utes have dealt with some significant injuries this season but the bye week came at a good time to recoup. Still, here’s the latest on the injury front for the Utes.
Location: Mountain America Stadium
TV: ESPN
Rado: AM 700
According to ActionNetwork’s Brett McMurphy, Cam Rising is going to start against Arizona State.
According to everyone else that has followed Utah Football the past few weeks, they’ll believe it when they see it. There remains plenty of apprehension around the report given Utah’s willingness to take decisions up to the final minutes before kickoff.
However, sources have indicated to KSL Sports that Rising will return tonight, barring anything unforeseen. Sources also provided updates throughout the week, Rising assumed most of if not all the valuable reps between Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s, and Thursday’s practices.
Defensive end Connor O’Toole suffered an injury fairly early on against Utah State. He exited that game and has yet to return to action. Unfortunately, O’Toole is still not expected to be available tonight.
He won’t be the only starting defensive lineman out of action tonight. Defensive tackle, Keanu Tanuvasa is also expected to miss the game.
Aliki Vimahi remains unavailable, so watch out for true freshman Dallas Vakalahi to start in his place, while Simote Pepa rotates in.
Utah veteran LB Karene Reid suffered an injury late in the Baylor game and he’s been out of action since. He is getting close to a return but he’s still not ready to retake the field.
The depth at linebacker has taken some hits with Reid and Levani Damuni. That list now includes Sione Fotu, who is expected to be unavailable for tonight’s contest.
So, it will largely be up to Hall, Lander Barton, and Trey Reynolds to patrol the middle.
