Plain and simple, wide receiver Darren Carrington II adds an explosive and dangerous element to the Utes offense. That’s no secret, particularly after he racked up 409 yards receiving and four touchdowns in the first three games.
Now with Carrington hampered by ailments and defenses devoting extra attention to him, Utah’s depth at the wide receiving position will get tested. Carrington made two catches for 9 yards against USC. In the Utes’ two losses, Carrington has 108 yards receiving with one touchdown, and 92 of those yards and the touchdown came in the fourth quarter against Stanford.
