This Was Wilner’s Top Prediction for the Rest of the PAC Season Schedule

1. Utah quarterback Cam Rising doesn’t set foot on the field this season due to a prolonged recovery from knee surgery. But in their ongoing attempt to keep opponents guessing, the Utes release blurry drone footage of what appears to be Rising in full uniform, working with the first team. Closer inspection reveals it’s actually 305-pound backup right guard Falcon Kaumatule wearing No. 7 and a knee brace. Even without Rising, the Utes win nine games in one of Kyle Whittingham’s finest coaching jobs.

Nine wins? Good lord, that would be incredible. Absolutely incredible. I’m wondering if they tossed a wig on Carson Wentz…could they pass him off as Rising?

Speaking of Wentz, what a crazy story. Small school, #2 pick, MVP season, get hurt at the end, your team wins a Super Bowl without you, you get in a fight in the locker room because you’re p**sed the team is doing well without you. You come back too early, get knocked out again due to a dirty hit from Clowney, get traded for a first round pick, the new owner bashes you repeatedly on your way out, get traded again, suck and then cut and now you can’t even get a tryout for a backup due to your reputation in the locker room.

But hey, there are worse ways to make 100 million bucks, amiright?

Well, what about Trey Lance? At least Wentz was a legitimate NFL QB and was on his way to an MVP season when he got hurt. Lance was the #3 pick in the 2021 draft also from North Dakota State, only played the 2020 college football season, and has to be up there with guys like Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell as one of the biggest draft busts ever.
