No LJ Martin at running back
BYU running back LJ Martin is the focus this week from an availability standpoint. The reigning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year is currently not listed on the depth chart. Head coach Kalani Sitake said it will take until Wednesday to get a better idea of where Martin stands regarding being able to play this week.
Utah head coach Morgan Scalley has already said he plans a game for Martin to play this Saturday.
Removal of -OR- on the right guard
With Kyle Sfarcioc back in action, the -OR- next to him and Zak Yamauchi were removed. Sfarcioc missed the UCF game due to injury. He is a full-time starter this season.
Tiger Bachmeier added to kick returner
Evan Johnson is suffering from an injury. In addition to being a starting cornerback, Johnson was in the mix on kick returns. Tiger Bachmeier replaced Evan Johnson at kick returner.
