Here's who made Utah football's initial availability report for BYU rivalry game

In this story:
A glimpse of who's in and who's out for the next installment of the Holy War rivalry was revealed Wednesday with the release of the initial availability reports for Utah and BYU.
One name to watch leading up to kickoff from LaVell Edwards Stadium (6 p.m. local time, Fox) is Cougars safety Raider Damuni. The 6-foot-1 junior was listed as "doubtful" after leaving last Saturday's double-overtime game against Arizona during the first quarter with an injury.
Sophomore safety Faletau Satuala was listed as the starter in BYU's first depth chart for Saturday's game. It would be the first time Satuala started a game this season.
Damuni, who has 10 solo tackles and 1 interception on the season, was among the seven players who made it onto BYU's initial availability report. Utah, meanwhile, categorized eight players as "out" for the 103rd all-time meeting with its in-state rival, including a trio of standouts who've already been ruled out for the season: Daidren Zipperer, Hunter Andrews and Rabbit Evans.
