Manny Still In Question Utah's first major loss due to an injury was still up in the air Monday Mon-day as doctors attempted to determine determ-ine the extent of Manny Fernandez' knee injury, suffered against the Jniversity of Minnesota. Torn Ligaments Torn ligaments in the defensive tackle's right knee could possibly keep Fernandez out for the remainder remain-der of the year. Doctors from both Salt Lake City and Fernandez' home town were checking the knee late Monday and no official word had been issued at that time. Head Coach Mike Giddings labeled la-beled the situation as "very doubtful doubt-ful at this point," and noted that an operation would insure Fernandez Fernan-dez lost for the season. On the optimistic op-timistic side, the Ute head mentor mentioned that the Utah crew hoped that the 6'2" Senior would be back in uniform in time for the Brigham Young game. An official report from physicians is expected within the next two days, announced Giddings. |
