SALT LAKE CITY -- Sophomore Zack Moss is officially the No. 1 running back for the Utah Utes after a tight camp competition with Armand Shyne that ended with a long-term injury to Shyne.
The junior went down during a team period on Saturday in what coach Kyle Whittingham called a fluke. Utah does not typically disclose details of injuries that are not season-ending.
That leaves the 5-foot-10, 210-pound Moss of Hialeah Gardens, Florida, as the successor to last year's 1,400-yard rusher, Joe Williams.
Quarterback Troy Williams said he can see the change in Moss' mindset from his freshman year.
