That shooting was accidental and is still being absorbed and mourned, wrestled with, far and wide by people inside and outside of the Utes football program. Utah has now given up 100-yard kickoff returns for touchdowns three times this season. That is absurd for any team to give up, but that feels especially crazy when it's a Power Five division winner with one loss in the last two months.

Teams playing Utah have no reason not to take a kickoff out from the shallow part of their own end zone.
That's just what it is, and to think this can get fixed on Nov. 26 after three instances is wishful thinking. The University of Utah already experienced unspeakable pain, grief, devastation, and shock last December when Ty Jordan, a running back with tremendous talent and a bright future, died of an accidental gunshot wound. Now the university is immersed in sadness and mourning once again.
