Stanford running back Bryce Love has been ruled out for Saturday night's game against Utah because of an ankle injury, the team announced on Twitter.
Love suffered the injury last week against Notre Dame.
Before that, he was struck by the injury bug when he missed the Cardinal's Sept. 15 game against UC Davis with an undisclosed issue. He was initially hurt during a 17-3 win over USC the previous week.
The senior standout is a critical piece of Stanford's success on the field. He set a school record with 2,118 rushing yards and finished second in Heisman Trophy voting in 2017.
