Utah running back Zack Moss' knee injury enabled his former backup to produce one of the team's biggest rushing days of the season Saturday, adding another twist to the Utes' adventurous football season.
There's more to tell about what happened to Moss, whose injury came in what Ute coach Kyle Whittingham labeled a “very strange” way.
After his team’s 32-25 win over Oregon, Whittingham clarified that Moss' midweek injury occurred away from the practice field — contrary to various media reports, including The Salt Lake Tribune’s account.
Moss' meniscus injury stemmed from a pre-existing condition. “It could have been a week ago, a month ago, a year ago,” Whittingham said.
