SALT LAKE CITY -- For all the recent success Utahs Kyle Whittingham has had in the Pac-12, beating Arizonas Rich Rodriguez has eluded him.The Wildcats are 4-0 against the 24th-ranked Utes since Rodriguez took over in 2012, and to hear Whittingham tell it he hasnt really been thinking about that this week.Its not on my mind, but I guess it should be, Whittingham said. Its right. Its accurate. Theyve had our number the last four years.The Wildcats (2-3, 0-2 Pac-12) have run roughshod through the Utes (4-1, 1-1) in the last four meetings, rushing for an average of 269 yards per game.The Utes could have their best opportunity yet to put an end to that streak when they host the Wildcats on Saturday.Arizona has been plagued by injuries this season with 28 players, including 18 starters, on the injury report at the beginning of the week. Starting running back Nick Wilson, who ran for 218 yards and three touchdowns against the Utes in 2014, is listed as questionable with an ankle injury.And though they ran for 200-plus yards in their last four consecutive games, the Wildcats usually explosive offense isnt what its been in the past.Arizona is ranked No. 51 in the country with 443.4 yards of total offense per game with the No. 65 scoring offense (29.2 points per game).They havent been as prolific offensively as they have in previous years, but theyve been prolific against us all four last years, Whittingham said. Were not overly concerned with whats gone on the first four weeks of the season for them because we know weve had our own struggles with them.Rodriguez said Sundays have become long days, win or lose, as the injuries have piled up. Arizona finished the last game without its top two quarterbacks and top two running backs. Last week, Khalil Tate became the first Arizona true freshman to receive time at quarterback since 2008 due to a rib injury to Brandon Dawkins. Tate may start against the Utes.As a staff, we have to come together with a plan, try to put some guys in place that are maybe more inexperienced, Rodriguez said. We may have to adapt some of our schemes, not just on offense and defense, but on special teams. We will have 11 out there. I dont know how much experience they will have, but well have 11 out there, and get ready to go put the plan together for Utah.Things to watch when Utah hosts Arizona:REAL STRUGGLE: Utah continues to be one of the worst teams in the country in the red zone with a 75 percent scoring percentage -- No. 107 in the nation and last in the Pac-12. The 54.17 touchdown percentage puts them at No. 98.We think we maybe need to be a little more creative down there, Whittingham said.PROMOTED: Utah sophomore Armand Shyne was promoted to starter this week after rushing for 99 yards and two touchdowns against Cal. He has 272 yards and three touchdowns this season. The Utes need him and freshman Zack Moss to carry the load with junior Troy McCormick banged up.BALL SECURITY: Arizona is tied for No. 23 in the nation with just five turnovers in five games. The Wildcats have had three games without a single turnover. Utah has 10 turnovers this season, but has also forced 12, which is tied for No. 6 in the country.We really want to be a nastier team this week, Utah safety Chase Hansen said.HURT, TOO: The Utes have had injury issues of their own. Three-year starting center J.J. Dielman went down last week with a season-ending lower leg injury. Backup Lo Falemaka is banged up and was in a walking boot this week. First team All-Pac-12 defensive tackle Lowell Lotulelei missed last game with a shoulder injury. No. 1 receiver Tim Patrick and starting cornerback Reggie Porter both went down last week. McCormick was also in a boot this week after getting hurt last week. Whittingham only confirmed that Dielman would be out this week.---AP college football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Kareem Copeland on Twitter: www.twitter.com/KareemCopeland Air Jordan 11 Uk Sale .

Buy Air Jordan 11 Uk . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. Adelaide star Eddie Betts booted five goals in his 250th AFL game as the Crows claimed a 15-point win over a brave Port Adelaide in Saturdays Showdown.The Crows withstood a late surge from Port at Adelaide Oval to claim a 15.19 (109) to 14.10 (94) win and climb to second on the ladder as they continued their march towards the finals.The game had all the feeling of a Showdown as the two sides matched physical intensity, the margin just a point in favour of the Power at quarter-time.Led by powerful onballer Ollie Wines, who had six tackles for the term, Port had the better of the contest in the early going.The Crows found another gear, recording 22 inside-50s to the Powers six, and would have led by more than 13 points at halftime if not for some inaccurate goalkicking, with captain Taylor Walker among the worst culprits.Port fought their way back into the game with brilliant onballer Robbie Gray kicking one of the goals of the round, fending off Adelaides Luke Brown and snapping truly from deep in the pocket to delight the 49,541 crowd.Late goals to Jake Neade and captain Travis Boak (26 touches) brought the margin back to a point at three-quarter time.But Adelaides potent forward line proved the difference in the final term, goals to Josh Jenkins, Mitch McGovern and Walker ensuring the Crows claimed hometown bragging rights.McGovern booted three majors while Betts matched the five he kicked last time the two sides met in April.ddddddddddddCrows midfielder Matt Crouch finished with 33 touches and five clearances to claim the Showdown Medal.Defender Brodie Smith left the game with a concussion early in the second term after copping an accidental foot to the head from Ports Aaron Young.Star midfielder Rory Sloane could face scrutiny from the match review panel for a late hit to Brad Ebert.Ebert was cut open under his eye after Sloane caught him with a clenched fist while attempting to spoil his mark.Port coach Ken Hinkley praised his sides effort but said it was another case of poor skills letting them down against superior opponents.Our persistence almost won it for us. What lost it for us was the turnovers, he said.Our ability to use the ball, when we play well, is the only thing that causes us grief because I think our effort, our contest, our defence, theyre the heartbeat of our side.Crows coach Don Pyke was pleased with his sides ability to withstand the Powers late surge.There were times in that game, certainly just before three-quarter time, where the momentum was against us, and Port Adelaide got a bit of a run on at the end there, Pyke said.I thought our guys showed, again, a bit of maturity in the last quarter just to stick true to what we know can create wins and found a way in the end.
