SALT LAKE CITY -- Cam Rising jogged off the field at Rice Eccles Stadium with a broad smile and not a drop of sweat on his head. Rising, Utah's starting quarterback, didn't see the field Thursday night as he continues to recover from an offseason ACL surgery, and the Utes didn't miss him.
In their season opener against Florida -- a rematch of last September's game in which the Gators won 29-26 in Gainesville -- the Utes used a two-quarterback system to propel themselves to a 24-11 victory. They'll head into the second week of the season with a win under their belt and a healthier Rising.
