LAS VEGAS — The son of this city will rise Saturday with a heavy heart, swelling with pride yet burdened by sorrow.
Oregon senior Tyrell Crosby will close out his splendid college career in a hometown now scarred by tragedy, after the mass shooting during a country music concert on Oct. 1. The gentle giant who once worked as a ballboy for the Las Vegas Bowl will play his last game as an amateur in Sam Boyd Stadium when the Ducks take on No. 25 Boise State on Saturday (12:30 p.m. PT, ABC).
The Ducks (7-5) arrived in Las Vegas on Monday.
