In the biggest game of the season — in which the No. 20 Utes defeated No. 7 USC, 43-42, to salvage their hopes of returning to the Pac-12 Conference championship — the senior tight end had the biggest game of his career.
“You see what he did tonight,” Rising said. “When he touches the ball like that he makes plays and he extends them and he’s a [run-after-catch] player, so he can do it all. So, we just have to make sure we’re getting him the ball.”
Hustling to try to pull within a touchdown of the Trojans before the break, Rising connected with Kincaid on the first two plays of the drive for gains of 15 and 9 yards. When Kincaid was hit in mid-air during the second catch, referees had reason to suspect targeting. They called for a review of the play, which took several minutes . That review led to another review, this one to check the game clock.
It wasn’t. The delays had no effect on the magic between Kincaid and Rising. In their first play back on the field, Rising found Kincaid’s sure hands for a 30-yard gain and excellent field position. Two plays later, receiver Devaughn Vele caught a 16-yard pass to set the Utes up for what turned out to be a transformative second half.
