It was a panic position for Utah well before he left. Not sure if they are going to add another piece (I hope) or roll with the other guy vs. the UCLA transfer. This is a scary position at a position that Utah is usually great with.
Injuries are a part of every team. Part of the reason this Utah team is exciting is that they have solid depth everywhere except O-Line (which they added a couple experienced transfers to help with) and LB. Other than those positions, they can handle some injuries. But if you want to be special, you better hope your game changers stay healthy.
