SALT LAKE CITY -- Disaster has struck for No. 21 Utah.Thats how coach Kyle Whittingham described the running back situation after the position was hit by injury yet again.Starting running back Armand Shyne is done for the season after suffering an injury to his right leg during the 36-23 win over Arizona on Saturday. Shyne was promoted to starter last week and went down immediately after becoming the first Utes back to rush for 100 yards in a game this season. He finished with 101 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.Shyne will miss the spring session, also.The sophomore was the fourth Utah running back to go down this season, and he wasnt the only one Saturday. Junior Jordan Howard became No. 5 after making his debut at running back following Shynes injury. Whittingham didnt specify the injury, but Howard cannot play this week against Oregon State.Game 1 starter Joe Williams retired after two games due to injuries.Were down to our sixth running back now, I guess you could say, Whittingham said. Its been a little bit of a mystery this year as far as the injuries. But you just deal with it and move on. Well figure it out. Dont have an answer for you right now. We will have answer very soon.Where that answer will come from may be more of a mystery. Freshman Zack Moss will be a game-time decision after missing the last game and junior Troy McCormick also missed last week. Shyne, Moss, McCormick and Williams have combined for 88.2 percent of Utahs rushing yards this season.Whittingham said theyre exploring all options. The coaching staff is considering a position switch for someone who has previous experience at running back in high school or junior college. Reaching out to Williams to see if he could un-retire is even on the table.The play-calling is likely to be affected, also.That will come into play as well, Whittingham said. Maybe more the quarterback-run game as well. We just have to look for any and all answers because right now its a pretty desperate situation at running back.Moss is listed atop the depth chart this week, but theres no certainty that hell be available. Redshirt freshman Marcel Manalo is listed as No. 2, but last game was his first career action and he still hasnt had a carry. Freshman Devontae Henry-Cole will get practice reps this week as coaches decide whether to pull his planned redshirt.When youre in redshirt mode, if disaster strikes, which disaster has struck, then youve got to re-think things, Whittingham said.Quarterback Troy Williams knows some of the offensive load could be shifted to his arms, and maybe his legs. The Utes are historically a run-first team and have 262 rushing attempts compared to 198 pass attempts.That could start to skew in the other direction. Troy Williams was ranked by Rivals.com as the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the nation coming out of high school in 2013, so Utah could utilize his mobility more than in previous games. He has 92 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 41 carries this season.Im willing to do whatever it takes to help my team win games, he said. If that means I have to run the ball more, then so be it. I have no problem taking on that role. We may have to make a couple of tweaks here and there, but Im sure well stick with what has been working all season. ... We just have to do a little more as an offense, period.Injuries to the backs arent the only challenges for the run game. Center J.J. Dielman, a three-year starter, was lost for the season two weeks ago and backup Lo Falemaka was unable to play against Arizona because of a leg injury. Senior Nick Nowakowski got the start.The Utes have also lost defensive end Kylie Fitts and tight end Siale Fakailoatonga to injuries. Other starters on the defensive line, in the secondary and at receiver have also missed games due to injury.Worst I can remember, Whittingham said. Ive been in it a lot of years and I cannot remember a year with this many injuries. The sheer amount of injures that weve had. Air Max Tavas China Air Stab China .

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Jabari Bird realizes the scrutiny surrounding the California program for the way last season ended.It became impossible to ignore given the embarrassing finish on several fronts -- the basketball on the court, and what was transpiring off it.Cal lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to Hawaii. There were distractions before the Golden Bears even took the court in Spokane, Washington , however.Last years end of the season was extremely motivational. It didnt end the way we wanted it to end, Bird said. We had some unfortunate circumstances.The university reviewed whether coach Cuonzo Martin properly handled sexual harassment allegations against former assistant coach Yann Hufnagel , now at Nevada. An administrative review showed that all department employees -- including Martin -- responded properly. The coach received a contract extension Tuesday taking him through 2020-21.Now, Bird and sophomore forward Ivan Rabb are the two returning regular starters from last season, while point guard Sam Singer played regularly during the absences of injured star Tyrone Wallace.Here are some things to watch for with the Bears:RABBS RETURN: After discussing it with his family, Rabb opted to stick around and extend his college career right at home in the Bay Area -- and thats a big boost for the Bears. A surprise to many as well.Rabb averaged 12.5 points and 8.6 rebounds during his freshman season, helping Cal get back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013. He had been projected as a first-round draft pick.Its great to have him back. Ive said it before, one of the best guys Ive ever been around as a basketball player, as a young man, and student-athlete, Martin said. He has all the parts to be successful in life, whether hes playing basketball or not. ... He takes pride in going to class and being successful. Not just going, but he wants to be good. He wants to get a degree. He represents the Bay Area. He takes a tremendous amount of ppride in that.ddddddddddddONE AND DONE: Jaylen Brown bid farewell to Berkeley after one season to make the NBA leap.Now, Cal will count on big contributions from 7-footers Kingsley Okoroh and Kameron Rooks.Martin realizes some players will only stay for one year, and he accepts that.I recruit young men that I like to be around, he said. I dont care if theyre rough around the edges, they come from East St. Louis, like I come from, wherever they come from, I just want to be a part of a young mans life to put him in a position to be successful in life.SWITCHING SHOOTERS: When guard Jordan Mathews unexpectedly decided to transfer to Gonzaga, the Bears needed another shooter. They landed Grant Mullins, a graduate transfer from Columbia who will certainly be called upon to help pick up a chunk of the scoring load in his one season for the Bears.TOP FRESHMAN: Freshman Charlie Moore, a 5-11 guard from Chicago, was considered a top recruit out of Illinois and should make an immediate impact. His teammates have been impressed with his speed and maturity adjusting to the college demands.Moore averaged 28 points, seven assists, five steals and four rebounds during his senior high school season at Morgan Park.Hes dynamic, Bird said. Super talented for a kid that young to come in. He hasnt really hit a bump yet as far as Ive seen so far in practice where he couldnt have handled it.THE SCHEDULE: The Bears went a school-record 18-0 at home in Haas Pavilion, where Cal will be tested with most of its early games on the schedule in Berkeley and a date with powerhouse Virginia on Dec. 21 before Arizona visits Dec. 30 to open Pac-12 Conference play. Cal is riding a 19-game home winning streak overall.The Bears also face San Diego State on Nov. 21 at new Golden 1 Center in Sacramento -- the home of the Kings -- that will host the NCAA Tournament next March.
