Utah is eagerly awaiting the return of star quarterback Cam Rising, who has led the Utes to back-to-back PAC-12 Championships and Rose Bowl appearances.
However, Rising is still not ready to return to full game action at Baylor on Saturday as he still works his way back from a torn ACL. The Utes are favored by seven-and-a-half points on the road against the Bears with the combination of Braxton Barnes and Nate Johnson operating as the team's quarterbacks.

Rising continues to miss time, but Baylor is also starting its backup after Blake Shapen suffered a sprained MCL in the team's shocking loss to Texas State in Week 1, losing as nearly four touchdown favorites.
