Cam Rising’s status remains a mystery for No. 14 Utah heading into its first game of the season. Rising is listed as the starting quarterback on this week’s depth chart before Thursday’s opener against Florida.
Bryson Barnes and Nate Johnson will have a chance to lead the offense if Rising isn’t cleared to play.
Mertz started 32 games for Wisconsin over three seasons. He tallied 5,405 career yards and 38 career touchdowns while completing 60% of his passes. The Utes are in a much different spot defensively this season. Ten starters return on defense, headlined by preseason All-Pac-12 first-team selections Junior Tafuna, Karene Reid and Cole Bishop.
Eguakun is the only returning full-time starter on the Gators’ offensive line. Jake Slaughter has taken first-team snaps at center and will likely slide into the starting spot if Eguakun doesn’t play.Florida will open a season with a true road game for the first time since playing at Miami in 1987. It will also be the first true road game against a non-SEC opponent since playing at Syracuse in 1991.
