Utah quarterback Cam Rising revealed that his knee injury suffered in last year's narrow Rose Bowl defeat was more complicated than most initially thought.
The Utes lost to Ohio State by the final score of 48-45 in Pasadena last season, with Buckeyes kicker Noah Ruggles connecting on a 19-yard field goal as time expired.
Rising performed admirably, passing for 214 yards and two touchdowns before he left the contest due to the aforementioned injury.
He has yet to appear in a game this season, and he finally discussed the reason for his absence.
"I wasn't really expecting to do this, but I just want to let everybody know I didn't just tear my ACL," Rising said in an interview with ESPN 700.
