Before the game, Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich said Utah’s special-teams play was worth the price of admission. It showed on Saturday at Autzen Stadium. Earlier in the game, Utah’s punter grabbed a high snap with one hand then rushed it for 39 yards. That was impressive.

The 15-year-old plays key positions in each sport…

Not with what Erie County district attorney Frank Sedita called the “three-ring circus” that has surrounded the case.
