Utah Standout Running Back Dies in Shooting: Utah freshman running back Ty Jordan was killed in an accidental shooting overnight in Denton, Texas. After playing high school football in Mesquite, Texas, Jordan averaged 144.6 all-purpose yards in five games, second among FBS freshmen. Jordan was selected Pac-12 newcomer of the year by AP Friday.

I lived a quarter mile from there in college. It's a short walk to the UNT campus among lots of old houses rented by students.

Terrible.

I wonder if Utah now wishes they had chosen to play in a bowl game as a step on the path to healing or whether it's just as well that they're not playing because they might not be able to compete at their usual level.
