For the record, Cam Rising is a fan of “Bad Moon Rising.” When the song plays Thursday, it’ll mark the end of an arduous journey to get back onto the field, and the start of a new one for the QB — one that just might end with a third conference title.

What will Cam Rising write in his final chapter at Utah?

As a Ute, Rising has guided Utah to two Pac-12 titles. Can he lead Utes to a third league title — and CFP berth — in Utah’s first season in the Big 12?
