Utah players OK after getting shot at party
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah football coach Kyle Whittingham was grateful that two players shot over the weekend are expected to fully recover, but he doesn’t feel the need to change team rules.
Freshman Marcel Brooks-Brown and sophomore Lo Falemaka were both shot at a party late Friday night. Brooks-Brown was released from the hospital Monday while Falemaka is expected out in a week or so.
“We have certain guidelines that we follow and certain things that are expected,” Whittingham said. “Just use your common sense and don’t put yourself in bad situations.
“It’s just a matter of making good decisions. Not to say these guys made bad decisions. Circumstances are what they are. Sometimes it’s just wrong place at the wrong time. That happens on occasion, too.”
