Utah quarterback Cameron Rising made his first start in more than a month against Arizona State Friday night after missing the Utes' last three games with a laceration on his right (throwing) hand suffered against Baylor on Sept.

The now 25-year-old from Ventura, California has suffered some absolutely brutal injury luck, even for a sport as dangerous as college football. All of that would be tragic enough on its own, but it’s even worse knowing how incredible the quarterback is when he’s able to play at full strength.

For the fourth time in four games, Utah quarterback Cam Rising went through early warmups Friday night with a glove on his hand, then emerged from the locker room for Utah’s final, padded warmups in full uniform.
