As Utah prepares for their Big 12 matchup against Arizona, Cam Rising is once again a game-time decision, potentially paving the way for true freshman Isaac Wilson to make his first start at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
BollywoodFever: The Utah Utes are set to take on their former Pac-12 rivals, the Arizona Wildcats, in their first-ever Big 12 matchup. With Utah’s starting quarterback Cam Rising still recovering from a season-ending injury last year, Rising’s status remains uncertain for Week 5. Rising missed last season’s defeat in Tucson, and fans are once again left wondering if he will play this week.
Last week, many expected Rising to start against Oklahoma State, but his status was downgraded to a “game-time decision,” leading to true freshman Isaac Wilson earning his second consecutive start. Wilson didn’t disappoint, securing back-to-back wins and building momentum early in his college career.
Heading into this week’s game against Arizona, speculation continues to grow that Wilson will be under center once more, especially with Utah entering a bye week in Week 6. This break would give Rising additional time to recover before the Utes face Arizona State. Vegas odds have also shifted, moving in Arizona’s favor from 11.5 to 9.5, further fueling rumors about Wilson’s third start.
Cam Rising’s Status Uncertain
ESPN’s Pete Thamel confirmed Rising’s status as a “game-time decision” once again, saying, “A decision will again be made after monitoring how Rising throws and feels in warm-ups.”
If Isaac Wilson starts, it will mark his debut at Rice-Eccles Stadium, where he will surely be greeted by a roaring home crowd. The night game atmosphere is expected to rekindle memories of “Pac-12 After Dark” as Utah hopes to build on their winning streak.
