Cam Playing

[Whitty]

McMurphy just tweeted Bad Moon is back!

Utah QB Cam Rising will start Friday at Arizona State, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. Rising hasn’t played since Sept. 7 vs. Baylor, when he injured the ring finger on his throwing hand, requiring stitches. Rising has missed Utah’s last 3 games

Nobody will be able to tell me Cam is playing until he is on the field and throwing the ball at people during regulation. And even then it might take some convincing

[ALUF]

No kidding, I’m not a believer

[Whitty]

Think positive thoughts fellas

[Utah5410]

Not trying to be negative. But at this point I won’t believe it until he runs onto the field.

[thirtyfour-thirtyone]

Cam can’t hold the football anymore, so they moved him to linebacker to add more depth. He is now starting in place of Reid.

[jshame17]

Yeah, McMurphy would be the one to break this news… 🙄

I’m more convinced he’s not playing now..

[RoboUte]

Why is the first line of text in your comment blurry?

[Xanthis]

Surprisingly he was the first to break the news that Cam wouldn’t be playing against OSU.

[utefansince79]

I too will expect to see Isaac running our offense until I see Cam running onto the field.

[UteRapidJazz]

Nope. Nope. Nope. Not until I see it. I won’t believe.

[UteRapidJazz]

Dammit the line just jumped two points. I need to hold out disbelief!!! It’s so hard to stay this pessimistic lolol

[Jim Vanderhoof]

Unless your Cams thumb or index finger how would you know. It will be like every other game time decision. If he can throw and hit the receivers he’ll play if he can’t he won’t. Common sense.

*puts hands in ears* LALALALALALA

[ArcheryUte]

Literally the last two years have given Utah fans the worst kind of trust issues. Stay strong fellas. Believe in miracles.✊🏻

[Holladay Ute]

I wonder if McMurphy is prohibited from betting on games. Could he make statements like this and then bet against Utah covering??? Until Cam is back out there, we have to set expectations based on Isaac.

[Tony (admin)]

I’ll believe it when I see it! GO UTES

p.s. also fixed the original post so the tweet previews here.

[Jim Vanderhoof]

The latest line on Sportsbetting was -6 Utah. It opened the first of the week at -4 Utah. I took the -4 when it first came out. I think Utah covers -4 or -6.

[Walkman]

Did McMurphy saw what position he was playing – holder maybe? Fool me once…..game time decisions have made me realize I won’t believe it until he actually is in the huddle.

The one positive with Issac is Singer was targeted way more while he was playing. I am hoping for a healthy Cam who sees the whole field and uses talent like Singer as much as Issac tried to. I am still waiting for the Ferrari type offense we saw in the Baylor first quarter to manifest itself for a whole game……

Is this the week

[2008 National Champ]

Ferrari offense against Baylor?

5 play 20 yard drive, Punt
4 play 56 yard, TD
1 play 3 yard drive after turnover, TD
10 play 74 drive, FG
5 play 30 yard drive, Punt
3 play 1 yard drive, Punt
Defensive TD on blocked kick

28 plays 184 yards with Rising at QB. 13 of 23 points earned by the defense.

[SalUteopia]

So, a Ferrari defense? Right? Right?? 😛

[2008 National Champ]

Interesting. I’ve always thought of Whitt’s best defenses more like monster trucks that just slowly stomp the life out of the other teams while smashing every available surface beyond repair.

But it is definitely a thing of beauty when the D is flipping the field and scoring points on their own so I’ll cosign on Ferrari defense.

[Rick Walker]

Let’s hope that Ferrari defense gets a pick six this game

[SalUteopia]

Mood

[BigUteGuy]

I like to imagine the team getting settled on the plane, the pilot making the announcement they’re cleared for take off, then Bad Moon Rising plays over the PA and the team goes wild.

[SalUteopia]

How credible is Brett McMurphy historically speaking?

[ProudUte]

Cam celebrating the decision to let him play.

Celebration Dance

[Central Coast Ute]

I second the other cynical fans here.

[SteelUte]

Ok- let’s go! I hope the defense shows up to prove a point and whoever plays qb brings us a win. Go Utes!
