EUGENE -- When Kyle Whittingham brought Darren Carrington into Salt Lake City, the Utah football coach said he outlined a very specific set of expectations for the former Oregon wide receiver.
After being dismissed from the Oregon football team following a DUII arrest this summer - he would later plead no-contest - the talented-yet-troubled wide receiver received an olive branch from Whittingham. If Carrington could follow Whittingham's rules, the Utes wanted Carrington as part of their offense. They felt like he could help the team.
Three months later, the results, according to Whittingham, have been flawless.
"He's been a perfect citizen since he's been here," Whittingham said.
