Cam Rising had to find purpose after retiring from Utah football. This is what his new life looks like.
Cam Rising can’t throw like a star quarterback anymore — but he’s smiling on the sidelines of a football field again. How did the former Utes QB find his next chapter?

It's been exactly one year since Utah quarterback Cam Rising injured his hand when he was shoved into a cooler on the sidelines of Rice-Eccles Stadium.
It's an anniversary that will have some Utah football fans wondering what might've been.
Rising, meanwhile, is trying to move on.

This is where Sexton is when you hear first hear the whistle, which means Hardy was certainly calling for it a second or more before this. Might still be a bad decision but it’s less obviously tanky than most want to think.

What do you make of this BYU football season?
Getting to a bowl game would've been considered a huge accomplishment before the year began. A few months later, missing out on the Big 12 title game feels like a failure.
Reality is surely somewhere in the middle.
