Utah offense to be more 50-50 run-pass without Booker

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah's offense is in transition after two years of being placed squarely on the shoulders of running back Devontae Booker. The program had the fifth and sixth-most rushing attempts in school history the last two years as the coaching staff openly gave Booker as many carries as he could handle.

The former Ute is expected to be an early-round pick in the NFL draft next week.

That leaves Joe Williams and Troy McCormick battling vying for a starting job that will look different than the past two seasons.

"It's not a 30-carry a game Devontae Booker situation," coach Kyle Whittingham said.
