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 Fake Royals Jerseys .

Kansas City Royals Gear . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming. PHOENIX -- The Golden State Warriors with Kevin Durant are still an early season work in progress, as evidenced by a close call against the Suns in Phoenix.Durant scored 37 points, Stephen Curry added 28 and the Warriors held off the pesky Suns 106-100 on Sunday.We are not clicking and everybody can see that, Golden State coach Steve Kerr said. It will come but the main thing while we are going through this process is to continue to compete and try to pick up wins.The Warriors didnt seal the victory until Currys two free throws with 12.9 seconds to play. Durant added a pair of free throws with seven seconds left to provide the final margin.Durant was 15 of 16 at the line.I was just taking what the defense was giving me, he said. If you play me straight up, I like my chances. I try to get there (the foul line) as much as possible. My guys were setting great screens for me and I was able to get downhill some.T.J. Warren scored 26 points and Eric Bledsoe had 21 for the winless Suns, who took the Thunder into overtime in Oklahoma City on Friday night. Tyson Chandler grabbed 18 rebounds for Phoenix.Game 3 with a young squad, have a chance to beat OKC on the road, have a chance to beat Golden State at home, Phoenix coach Earl Watson said. I think were right where we need to be.Warren was coming off a career-high 30 points against the Thunder.Unbelievable, Bledsoe said. I mean, hes `Tony Buckets. He does what his name says, he gets buckets.The Suns led by as many as 13 in the first half. The Warriors finally took somewhat shaky control midway through the final quarter.The game looked well in hand for the reigning Western Conference champs when Durant took a lob pass from Andre Iguodala, dunked and was fouled. The three-point play put the Warriors up 102-94 -- their biggest lead of the day -- with 1:19 to play.But Phoenix got consecutive driving layups from Bledsoe, Warren and Jared Dudley to cut it to 102-100 with 14.8 seconds remaining. The Suns haad to foul Curry, and arguably the best free throw shooter in the game made them both to put away Golden States second victory after a loss in its home opener.dddddddddddd.SUNS RUNPhoenix scored 16 straight points in what became a 22-2 run to lead 30-17 when Alex Len sank a pair of free throws with 38.4 seconds left in the first quarter. Six Suns scored in the run.TEENAGE FAREWELL,The Suns Devin Booker, playing despite a toe injury, had a rough day on the court on his 20th birthday, but he did some serious damage in the NBA as a teenager.Booker scored 1,078 points in 78 games as a teen. The only teens to score more are LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmello Anthony, Durant and Dwight Howard. Booker had six 30-point games as a teenager, one fewer than Durant.He missed six of his first seven shots Sunday and wound up 3-for-12 for seven points.Devins tough, Watson said. If you watch him, hes limping around a lot. He has no excuses or anything. He goes out there and plays.Booker said that the toe injury restricted him some but insisted it was not affecting his shooting.Ive cant make no excuses. Im just missing shots, Booker said. Im going to catch my rhythm. ... Im kind of anxious on some of my shots. Ive just got to let the game come to me and Ill be fine.TIP-INSWarriors: Golden State committed 16 turnovers, leading to 25 Phoenix points. ...
