Same with the backfield, which is loaded with depth and versatility.What folks won’t see when the Buffs kick off against No. 17 TCU on Sept. 2 (10 a.m. MT, Fox) is a scripted opening sequence from new offensive coordinator Sean Lewis.With kickoff fast approaching and preseason camp winding down, Lewis met with the media following Tuesday’s practice to offer an update on his side of the ball. Asked if he is the sort of play-caller who enjoys going into a fray with a scripted game plan, Lewis gave a firm negative.“I’m more of a feel guy,” Lewis said. “I’ve not been into scripting.

A San Jose church ordered to pay $1.2 million in fines for defying public health mandates at the height of the pandemic is now suing Santa Clara County, accusing them of putting the non-denominational Christian church and its congregants under unconstitutional surveillance.The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in San Francisco by Calvary Chapel and its pastor Mike McClure, alleges the county “embarked on an invasive and warrantless geofencing operation to track residents.”“Our church believes in the rights and privacy of all our members,” McClure said in a statement about the lawsuit.Geofencing uses cell phone data to track its users’ movements. In late 2020 and early 2021, the county used third-party phone data to monitor worshipers inside the Hillsdale Avenue church, according to court documents filed last November. The county’s COVID-19 Business Compliance Unit also parked a car in a neighboring church’s lot on numerous occasions for sur...
