Devontae Booker questionable against UCLA

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said star running back Devontae Booker is a "question mark" for Saturday's game against UCLA.

Booker sustained an injury to his right knee midway through the game against Arizona and was held out for a quarter as medical staff attended to him. Booker re-entered the game in the second half but was not his explosive self.

"He usually runs with a lot of violence and tenacity, and you could tell that he had lost that edge just a little bit," Whittingham said.

Although Utah does not announce injuries unless a player sustains a season-ending injury, Whittingham said the training staff will do further tests to fully understand his overall health coming into Saturday's game.
