Overview
- The updated Big 12 availability report late Friday lists Devon Dampier as probable for Saturday's game against Colorado after earlier questionable designations.
- Dampier has started every game despite a season-long lower-leg injury and ranks sixth in the Big 12 in total offense.
- True freshman Byrd Ficklin received first-team reps in practice this week and would be next up if Dampier cannot play.
- Utah ruled wide receiver Tobias Merriweather and defensive tackle Dallas Vakalahi out, and linebacker Lander Barton must sit the first half due to a targeting penalty.
- Expect the Utes to lean on a rushing attack averaging about 245 yards per game against a Colorado defense allowing 188 rushing yards per game.
