Eugene, Ore. • Utah’s Darren Carrington II owns a diploma from the school that allowed him to post the most receiving yards against a Pac-12 opponent in his career.
Carrington caught nine passes for 130 yards Saturday, moving closer to Ute season records in his only year in the program. But his former Oregon teammates wouldn’t let him fully enjoy the homecoming game, with the Ducks taking a 41-20 victory.
In something resembling a basketball tradition, Carrington was booed every time he touched the ball — which was fairly often. The Oregon fans liked the outcome of Carrington’s most memorable play, though, as defensive back Ugochukwu Amadi forced a fumble that he returned for a 47-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
