Apparently we jumped the gun -- along with others -- about Utah's running back Matt Asiata gaining an extra year of eligibility because of his torn ACL that he suffered early this season, and because of his broken foot he suffered back in 2007.
So, what does this mean for Utah?
Well, it means that the Utes will have cluster of backs and a position change could be coming to one of the players. Matt Asiata, Eddie Wide, and Sausan Shakerin will stay at running back. The change will come to Shaky Smithson who came to Utah as a wide receiver, but made the switch to running back when Asiata was out with his torn ACL. Smithson did play running back at his previous junior college stop.
