Grey Cup: Toronto rallies in snow to beat Calgary

OTTAWA, Ontario — Lirim Hajrullahu kicked a 32-yard field goal with 49 seconds left and the Toronto Argonauts stunned the Calgary Stampeders 27-24 on Sunday in the Canadian Football League’s snowy 105th Grey Cup.

Toronto tied it with 4:35 to go on Cassius Vaughn’s Grey Cuprecord 109-yard fumble return and Ricky Ray’s 2-point conversion pass to Declan Cross.

After Hajrullahu’s field goal, Matt Black picked off Bo Levi Mitchell’s pass in the end zone to send the Stampeders to their second loss in two years in the title game. Last year, they fell to Ottawa 39-33 in overtime.

Vols no longer pursuing Schiano after protests

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee is no longer pursuing Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano to be the school’s new head coach, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

The person spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity because none of the negotiations were intended to be made public until a deal was reached.

The school and Schiano were close to an agreement earlier Sunday, but the deal fell apart after widespread backlash that included a protest on campus and complaints on social media from fans, state representatives and gubernatorial candidates.

Their complaints stemmed from Schiano’s background as an assistant at Penn State during Jerry Sandusky’s tenure as the Nittany Lions’ defensive coordinator. Sandusky is serving 30 to 60 years in prison for his conviction on 45 counts of sexual abuse.
