With quarterback Cam Rising back at the spring game, Utah can finally breathe again — and contend in the Big 12

With quarterback Cam Rising back at the spring game, Utah can finally breathe again — and contend in the Big 12 Quarterback Cam Rising throws during Day 1 of Utah football spring practices on Tuesday, March 12, 2023 at the University of Utah.The question posed to him was fairly innocuous: “Is it nice to have Cam Rising back under center?”— you know, the one you give out of the corner of your eye when only you and another person know something.

The offense shuffled from Bryson Barnes to Nate Johnson to eventually Luke Bottari at quarterback. Things hit rock bottom when the Utes didn’t even score a touchdown against Oregon, getting blown out 35-6 on national television. The hard part: The score should have been worse. Utah Utes quarterback Cameron Rising takes some snaps during warmups, before PAC-12 football action between the Utah Utes and the UCLA Bruins, at Rice-Eccles Stadium, on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023.

The crowd stood up and cheered cathartically. It was like watching a play from 2022 again — back when Utah had a fully healthy roster and was a national contender. A year ago, Rising sat out of spring practice and hoped to return for the opening game. But the timeline kept getting pushed back further and further, until he was shut down for the year at the end of October.
