SALT LAKE CITY — Three more stories from the world of sports.
Dog interrupts cricket match
What happens when a dog breaks onto the field during a game of cricket? Chaos, apparently.
In a Test cricket match between England and India, a dog interrupted play, and it took seemingly forever to stop the canine, as seen in the video below.
The dog leaves the first time before returning again.
The second time forced an early tea break — essentially halftime of Test cricket. It didn’t seem to make a difference either way. Much like the dog, India was unstoppable Thursday and led the first innings of the match 317-4, according to The Associated Press.
Cam’s fancy cleats
We’ve seen some ridiculous and some amazing NFL cleats throughout the season from caution tape to honoring Harambe to city skylines and plenty more.
However, Carolina Panthers quarterback and reigning MVP Cam Newton might have taken the clubhouse lead for the most unique kicks of the season Thursday night.
Newton’s cleats, worn pregame featured a black and white pattern throughout and some sort of animal tail on the back.

He didn’t wear them during the game, of course. And in the end, Newton and the Panthers held on to defeat New Orleans 23-20.
Houston gets tricky in upsetting Louisville
Since the start of this year’s College Football Rankings three weeks ago, being in the top five has been sort of a curse. In fact, teams ranked in the top four are just 4-4 in games over the first two weeks.
Enter Louisville, which came into the latest rankings at No. 5 — just outside the cut for the college playoffs.
On Thursday, the struggles for top five teams continued, and that included Louisville falling for some tricky plays.
There was fake punt pass:
The double pass touchdown toss:
And, the less planned out, but equally impressive, lucky deflection touchdown pass:
Tough defending that. Houston went on to off the upset and likely ended Louisville’s playoff dreams with a 36-10 win.
