Utah running back Micah Bernard runs past Oklahoma State defensive end Obi Ezeigbo in the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024, in Stillwater, Okla. After missing 11 games last season with an eye injury, Bernard has played a pivotal role in helping the No. 10 Utes stay undefeated heading into Saturday's late-night clash with Arizona.
"When we needed him, he was there and answered the bell every single time," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. "He's a big time back." Defensive struggles against Kansas State were compounded by an inability to finish drives on offense. Arizona scored on its opening drive and then punted or turned the ball over on downs on seven of its final eight drives. Wildcats quarterback Noah Fifita threw for 268 yards in the game, but Arizona generated a season-low 56 rushing yards."We don't want to be a team that's always riding the roller coaster of emotion," Arizona coach Brent Brennan said.
Whittingham said Rising had been cleared to play against Oklahoma State by the team's medical staff, but did not say if the seventh-year senior will return to action on Saturday.Through four games, tight ends Keyan Burnett, Tyler Powell, and Sam Olson have combined for seven total receptions. Burnett is leading the way with 49 yards on three catches. Tight end usage has dropped steeply from last season when Tanner McLachlan was Arizona's No.
