1. Can Isaiah Oliver get healthy?
After getting injured in the game against Washington State and missing the Cal game the following week, cornerback Isaiah Oliver returned to the starting lineup against USC last Saturday.
However, Oliver just didn't look like himself and his leg injury bothered him enough to the point where Oliver didn't return in the second half of the game.
"He said he was 100 percent and the doctors said he was 100 percent, but he didn’t play quite like Isaiah and he’d tell you the same thing, so I guess he wasn’t 100 percent mentally ready for it," MacIntyre said. "He’s a great player and he tried to fight through it, but he wasn’t able to go in the second half. We’ll see how he’s able to hopefully bounce back and play against Utah."
The Buffaloes will NEED Oliver to play - to the best of his abilities - on the road against Utah, as the Utes boast former Oregon wideout Darren Carrington, who has had a fantastic season.
Carrington has caught 58 passes for 830 yards and six touchdowns. He ranks No. 1 in the Pac-12 in receiving yards per game at 92.2.
