SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah running back Devontae Booker has played his last game for the 18th-ranked Utes.
Coach Kyle Whittingham said Booker won't be back in time for a bowl game after having surgery on his left knee Thursday to repair a torn meniscus. Whittingham made it official after Utah (8-3, 5-3) lost to UCLA 17-9 on Saturday and fell out of contention for the Pac-12 South title.
Booker's father, Ronnie Booker, was hopeful Thursday that his son could possibly play in a bowl game if it was late enough. He was confident that Booker will at least be able to participate in the Senior Bowl on Jan.
