GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: RB Bryce Love’s health is in question, and Shaw may not announce whether he’ll be ready for Utah until late in the week. That may make or break Utah’s hope for an upset win — whether or not they can play softly and try to take away Costello and the passing attack if stud running back Love isn’t in tow.
DRAFT SLANT
–RB Bryce Love had his typical big touchdown run against Notre Dame, a 39-yarder, but managed just 34 yards on 16 carries the rest of his game. He has a minor ankle injury and is questionable for the Utah game. Love has been ranked the top running back in the current draft class by NFL Draft Scout. “There’s a chance he plays this week. We’ll see how he is late in the week. We’ll make the right decision for him,” Shaw said Tuesday.
ROSTER REPORT:
–RB Bryce Love is questionable for the Utah game with an ankle injury.
–WR Connor Wedington is questionable for the Utah game with an undisclosed injury.
–S Ben Edwards is out indefinitely with an undisclosed injury.
–LB Casey Toohill is out three-to-four weeks with an arm injury.
–OL Foster Sarell is out indefinitely with a leg injury.
