Utah searching for offense without Booker, Covey

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Things keep getting worse for the Utah football program.

The Utes lost the centerpiece of their offense when Devontae Booker had knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus last week.

Then Utah dropped out of contention for a Pac-12 title with a 17-9 loss to UCLA and subsequently fell out of the AP poll despite being ranked No. 3 in the country a month ago.

Now the Utes (8-3, 5-3) are without leading receiver Britain Covey, who suffered a leg injury Saturday. Coach Kyle Whittingham didn't know if he would miss a bowl game because it's not set yet.
