SALT LAKE CITYThree-time All-Pac-12 tight end Brant Kuithe’s injury has Utah fans holding their breath at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Utah leads BYU 21-10 but can’t afford to lose its all-world tight end as they look to upset the No. 9 BYU Cougars. Utah leads 21-13 with 8:10 left in the third period.

Kuithe’s injury came away from the play on a third-down incompletion intended for Munir McClain.

Kuithe has four catches for 23 yards and a touchdown. He also had a rushing touchdown, marking the second time this season that he has scored both a rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game.

Kuithe came into the week with 31 grabs, five touchdowns, and 482 receiving yards, good for second most on the team.
