Week 4 College Football Showdowns: Which Underdogs Could Shock the Powerhouses This Weekend?
There are some worrying signs, though. The big one is that quarterback Cam Rising, who missed all of last year, has already missed another game with an injury. It sounds like he’ll play in this one, but Rising’s availability has tended to be a cloudy topic around the program in the past.
Plus, Utah’s downfield passing game hasn’t gelled yet. The Utes are 105th among FBS teams in third-down conversion rate (32.5%) and have been torn up on obvious passing downs in general. Tailbacks Micah Bernard (6.7 yards per carry) and Mike Mitchell (4.5) have been effective, but Utah will probably need more through the air.
