I think with the announcement today of Bookers injury it puts an end the career of what I would call the greatest Ute running back of all time. Lately I have been really paying attention to the way Booker plays and I would say he is a running back that has done more with less than any other running back I have seen. The way he can turn a 1 yard gain into a 3-4 yard gain, yards after contact, and breakaway speed is truly amazing to watch. Not to mention, his pass catching out of the backfield, blocking, and durability.
He was the reason Utah won 9 games last year and 8 so far this season, without him I’m not sure if Utah has winning seasons and who knows what would have happened with Whitt. Utah Football has ridden on his back and he brought it to respectability in the PAC 12. I could go on and on, but simply end this by saying Utah Football is on a whole new level because of him and it will be rare to see some of his talents in future Ute running backs.
