Ohio State Coach John Cooper said he regretted that wide receiver Ken-Yon Rambo was arrested Sunday morning, but said city police should share the blame.

Rambo, who attended Long Beach Poly High, was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and drug abuse.

Cooper said Rambo’s arrest was blown out of proportion. “Enough is enough,” he said. “There’s murders going on. People being shot. There’s rapes. You go on and on and on. What are we talking about?”

Arizona Coach Dick Tomey said quarterback Ortege Jenkins will start Saturday night’s game against San Diego State because of a shoulder injury Keith Smith suffered in Saturday’s loss at UCLA. . . .

Ratliff began to regain the feeling in his limbs shortly after being hospitalized Monday. His injury was listed as a spinal cord contusion. . . . Utah State Coach John L. Smith was a passenger in a helicopter that had to make an emergency landing in the mountains near Ogden. Smith was not injured.
