Luke Bottari, the only other quarterback left on the roster without a season-ending injury, will be Wilson’s backup. Rose, who will require surgery, is the latest Ute to be lost for the season due to injury,

Utah will be without yet another quarterback for the rest of the 2024 season. Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said Tuesday night that Brandon Rose would miss the rest of the season. Rose made the first start of his career in BYU’s controversial 22-21 win over Utah in Week 11 but suffered a lower leg injury in the loss.

Utah's Brandon Rose, who made his first career start last week against BYU, will undergo season-ending surgery on his lower leg, making him the third Utes QB lost for the season.

The third-year QB came on in relief of Isaac Wilson last week vs. Houston, but prior to that had barely seen the field.

The Utah Utes (4-5, 1-5 Big 12) will enter their Week 12 matchup with the Colorado Buffaloes (7-2, 5-1 Big 12) having suffered a disappointing season marred by injuries. The injury bug has bitten the Utes again,

The Utah Utes have been perhaps the most disappointing team in the Big 12 this season. After jumping from the Pac-12 over the summer, the Utes were picked to win the conference at July’s media day. Media members thought veteran quarterback Cam Rising would propel the Utes to the conference championship and College Football Playoff.

Kuithe is the latest Ute to suffer a season-ending injury, joining quarterback Cam Rising, receiver Money Parks, cornerback Kenan Johnson and offensive guard Michael Mokofisi.

Utah football suffered another huge injury at the quarterback position before their game against Colorado. To this point, Kyle Whittingham’s team has had a brutal season healthwise. The Utes have already lost star signal caller Cam Rising for the season and have struggled to find a permanent starter at the position ever since.
