eak through the stifling Oklahoma City defense.Weve g | Forum

TEMPE, Ariz. Custom Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys . -- Utah was concerned about Arizona States attacking defense. Turns out the Utes can bring a little pressure, too.Joe Williams had another big game in his post-retirement tour and No. 15 Utah had 11 sacks among its 22 tackles for loss, leading the Utes to a 49-26 win over Arizona State Thursday night.We just kept plugging away and the flood gates just opened up near the end of the game, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said.Utah (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12, No. 13 AP) overcame a slow start with a series of spectacular plays against the FBS worst passing defense to end an eight-game losing streak in Tempe.Williams ran for 181 yards and a pair of scores, giving him 844 yards and five touchdowns in four games since returning from a four-week retirement.Troy Williams threw for 296 yards and three of his four touchdown passes to Raelon Singleton, who had 116 yards on four catches to help the Utes stay within reach of No. 16 Colorado in the Pac-12 South.Utahs defense found a new level of pressure.The Utes harassed Arizona State quarterback Manny Wilkins all night, most of it coming from Hunter Dimick . The senior defensive end entered the game with seven sacks and nearly doubled his total against Wilkins, pulling him down five times to break the school record.Utah had six sacks in the fourth quarter and now has the two highest single-game sack totals in FBS this season after getting 10 against San Jose State on Sept. 17.We probably missed him a much as we got him, Dimick said. That dude was a freak athlete, but toward the end we fortunately were able to get him bottled up.Wilkins was adept at avoiding some tackles with some how-did-he-do-that moves in his return from injury, but also made some key mistakes.He threw an interception in the end zone in the first quarter and Chase Hansen put the game put the game out of reach by returning an interception 43 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.Wilkins finished with 309 yards and a touchdown on 19-of-31 passing.Those are completely mental errors on my part, errors I cant make, Wilkins said.Arizona State (5-5, 2-5) had plenty of mistakes in its defensive secondary again.The Sun Devils held Utah to 27 total yards in the first quarter, but once the Utes got one big play, they kept `em coming.Singleton got the first one, shedding a tackling along the sideline on a 64-yard touchdown . It was the 13th touchdown of 50 yards or more allowed by Arizona State this season.Utahs next touchdown wasnt over 50 yards, but it was spectacular: Siaosi Wilson laying out for a 27-yard catch just inside the pylon, held up by official review.The Sun Devils went back to their defensive lapsing at the end of the second quarter, inexplicably leaving Singleton open -- no one was within 15 yards of him -- in the end zone for a 17-yard score.Williams had the 14th scoring play of 50-plus yards against Arizona State to open the third quarter, breaking a couple tackles on an 82-yard touchdown run.They had a great game plan and stuck to it, Arizona State safety Marcus Ball said. They did some things and schemes, but down the stretch we had some self-inflicted wounds that cost us.SPECTACULAR SUN DEVILSArizona State had a pair of spectacular touchdown of its own.NKeal Harry had one in the second quarter, covering about 50 yards while dodging numerous tacklers on a botched fake play turned into a 31-yard scoring run.Tim White added another in the third quarter, somehow getting a foot down at the edge of the end zone for a 12-yard score.THE TAKEAWAYUtahs defense was at its harassing best and its offense had a nice balance, setting the Utes up nicely for the seasons final two games.Arizona State got a spark from Wilkins return, but couldnt protect him or stop giving up big plays on defense. The Sun Devils need to win one of their final two games to become bowl eligible.UP NEXTUtah hosts Oregon next Saturday before playing at No. 12 Colorado in a potential showdown for the Pac-12 South title.Arizona State hosts No. 4 Washington next Saturday before playing at rival Arizona in its regular-season finale. Lorenzen Wright Grizzlies Jersey . Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S. Masters in April. American Matt Kuchar, ahead by two strokes with four to play and even with Scott with one to go, double-bogeyed the 18th after taking two shots to get out of a bunker. Kyle Anderson Jersey . It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. http://www.grizzliesbasketballpro.info/Marc-Gasol-Grizzlies-Jersey/ . PETERSBURG, Fla. DeMar DeRozan has been on an impressive run for the Toronto Raptors. The 27-year-old guard out of USC has averaged 33.7 points on 52 percent shooting to kick off the season.Even more impressive is that DeRozan is averaging more than nine free throw attempts a game, which is putting opposing defenses in trouble.DeMar DeRozan? Hes mine. Hes ours. He belongs to the Raptors, Toronto coach Dwayne Casey told NBA.com. Hes been great, hes been a great leader, his approach has been very professional. But hes been superb, and we just gotta make sure we continue with a defensive focus.When Toronto travels to Oklahoma City on Wednesday to take on the surging Thunder, DeRozan will be the responsibility of guard Andre Roberson.At 6-foot-7, 210 pounds, Roberson has the height and length to bother DeRozans shot and the athletic ability to keep in front of him and out of the lane.Hes hot, Roberson said of DeRozan. Hes come out with a lot of confidence this year. We are just going to do our best to come out there and shut him down a little bit, get in our coverages, get back in transition, stick a hand in his face. I think well be ready.The Raptors head into the game coming off a loss to Sacramento on Sunday night. It was a game in which the Kings DeMarcus Cousins pummeled Torontos interior defense to the tune of 22 points, 14 rebounds and three blocked shots.Toronto was without Jonas Valanciunas, who had a left knee contusion. He has not been ruled out against Oklahoma City.If Valanciunas is unable to go, that leaves rookies Jakob Poeltl and Pascal Siakam to deal with the Thunder ffrontline of Steven Adams, Enes Kanter and Domantas Sabonis. Mike Bibby Grizzlies Jersey. The trio combined for 45 points and 26 points Monday in a win over Miami. But it was their ability to protect the rim that impressed Thunder coach Billy Donovan the most.We had great length at the basket. I thought Stevens length at the basket, Jeramis (Grant) length at the basket, Domantas at times, Donovan said. We had length at the basket, which really helped alter some shots. Numbers wise, it looks like a great defensive night. Overall, I think our defense continues to get better.Oklahoma City is fourth in the NBA in defensive efficiency at 94.6 points allowed per 100 possessions. The starting five is even better at 92.3.Its one of the reasons Oklahoma City has been able to rest its starters in back-to-back games.Great, man, great. If I could do that all year, that would be great with me, Russell Westbrook said. Rest is always good, but its always good to see that were doing a good job putting teams away early. Were doing a good job of coming out and being defense-minded.The Raptors will need more than DeRozan to break through the stifling Oklahoma City defense.Weve got to shoot the ball better, Raptors guard Kyle Lowry told Raptors.com. Thats not a concern, I just think we have to find a way to make the shots. Weve got to shoot more and get in the gym and shoot even more, get even more extra shots up. But well see what happens. I think our confidence is there. ' ' '
