Isaac Wilson, Utah look to take down TCU

Standout quarterback Cameron Rising has experienced more misfortune, and Utah’s season is teetering on a downward slope.The Utes will have Isaac Wilson behind center for the long term. They will look to halt a two-game skid on Saturday night when they host TCU in Big 12 play at Salt Lake City.Rising sustained a season-ending injury to his right lower leg during last weekend’s 27-19 setback to host Arizona State. The loss of Rising comes when the Utes (4-2, 1-2) are facing slim odds of being in the postseason playoff mix.”They’ve got to be warriors and want to battle through some adversity,” Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. “It’s not like we’re 1-5 and sitting here with a horrific season. We have dropped a couple of games in a row, and we’re not used to losing two in a row around here.”Rising missed all of last season due to a major left knee injury sustained in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2, 2023. This season, the seventh-year player missed three games with a hand injury before going down against the Sun Devils.”During his time at Utah, Cam has been both a great player and leader for our program, and he will obviously be missed,” Whittingham said.Wilson has passed for 830 yards and six touchdowns this season. However, the freshman has been intercepted seven times and has completed just 55.7 percent of his attempts.Micah Bernard is coming off a 129-yard rushing performance that marks his fourth 100-yard outing of the season. Bernard has 676 yards and a healthy 6.6 average per carry.The Horned Frogs (3-3, 1-2) are coming off a bye. Two weeks ago, they lost 30-19 to visiting Houston, a team that was shut out in its previous two games.
