SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s football program has several core values and a list of rules the players are expected to keep, with one of them being no DUIs.

The team’s best receiver was arrested last month on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence. And yet Darren Carrington is practicing with the team and not expected to miss any games.

The catch, so to speak, is the arrest came when Carrington was a member of the Oregon football team. Police in Eugene have said Carrington was arrested after hitting a pole at a McDonald's restaurant at 3:15 a.
