Salt Lake Tribune coverage of the Utah Utes and the Pac-12.
Utah Utes quarterback Cameron Rising throws the ball during halftime as the Utah Utes host the Florida Gators, NCAA football in Salt Lake City on Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023.roamed the sidelines at his old stomping grounds Friday night at Newbury Park High School looking on as his alma mater, led by the familiar No. 7 under center, rolled to a 35-14 win over Agoura. When given the opportunity to provide pointers for Newbury starter Brady Smigiel, Rising was there in the ear of the sophomore.
“I’m doing everything I possibly can to make sure that I’m improving,” Rising said. “And at some point your body has to heal the way it has to heal. It’s unfortunate and not exactly the way I expected the season to go, and that’s just the cards I’ve been dealt and that’s what I’ve got to play.” Reconstructing a knee as damaged as Rising’s requires patience and understanding that benchmarks are reached by different athletes at different points in time. For example, early on Rising wasn’t cleared to sprint, decelerate and cut despite being able to do some football activities on the field. That would damage the repaired meniscus.
“He’s gaining on it,” ElAttrache said. “I don’t know if it’s going to be a week or two weeks. Cam is close, but there’s a few things that we really need to still see before we can have him go back as safe as possible at this point. We’re not even going to be nine months from the surgery until the 16th of this month.
At his weekly news conference before the No. 16 Utes host Cal this weekend, Whittingham said Utah would find out Monday sometime whether or not Rising would be given the green light to play. Rising has Utah’s most noteworthy injury, but the Utes have suffered loads of injuries to starters and contributors at all levels. Whittingham has said that he’s never experienced this many injured players at once in his nearly 40 years of coaching. While Rising is still healing, Utah is down to Johnson, its fourth-string quarterback entering preseason camp. The Utes are averaging just 297.6 yards of total offense per outing, which ranks 127th in the country.
Utah fans who expected Rising to be able to lead the Utes toward a three-peat in the Pac-12 are obviously frustrated with the paltry offensive production. Some have even targeted ElAttrache as the primary source of ire for Rising not being fully cleared. A Utah fan recently left a one-star review on Google for ElAttrache with a message: “Let Cam play.”Truth is, unrealistic expectations were set when Rising wasn’t ruled out early in preseason camp and in the first few weeks of the season.
