Utah RB Devontae Booker may not be able to play against UCLA on Saturday after suffering an undisclosed knee injury against Arizona last Saturday.

However, the UCLA defense is certainly ready for Booker and know that the senior is really special.

UCLA defensive tackle Kenny Clark is particularly impressed by Booker and his 1,261 rushing yards. When asked about Booker this week, Clark said that the Utes running back was the best back the Bruins have faced this season.

"Best running back we've played all year," said Clark. "...Tremendous athlete. Strong runner."

Stopping Booker will be UCLA's number one goal on defense on Saturday. If Booker is unable to go, the Bruins will look to contain backup running back Joe Williams.
