Does Utah play today? College football schedule for Utes' next game after Week 6 bye

Utah football heads into its Week 6 bye with questions surrounding its star quarterback.

Playing without starting quarterback Cam Rising, the No. 18 Utes (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) fell 23-10 to Arizona in Week 5, struggling to find their offense throughout the game. Despite the bye week, questions remain about the health of Utah's seventh-year signal-caller.

Rising started the first two games of the season for the Utes, completing 18 of 29 passes for 346 yards and seven touchdowns. However, Rising left the 23-12 victory over Baylor with a hand injury in the second quarter, and has not appeared in a game since. Isaac Wilson ― the younger brother of NFL quarterback Zach Wilson ― has taken the reins since then.
