SALT LAKE CITY -- Utahs eighth false start penalty of the first half brought out bs from its homecoming crowd. Luckily for the Utes, a second-half rally was enough to avoid spoiling the occasion.Quarterback Troy Williams ran for two touchdowns and threw another, helping No. 24 Utah come back to beat Arizona 36-23 on Saturday night.Utah (5-1, 2-1) trailed 14-12 at halftime after committing 11 first-half penalties, including all those false starts. Arizona (2-4, 0-3) scored on the first snap of the game when Brandon Dawkins connected with Shun Brown for a 75-yard TD pass, taking advantage of blown coverage that left Brown completely uncovered.Were a pretty decent ftball team if we would stop some of the self-inflicted stuff, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. We did some things to create tough situations for us that weve got to get fixed. We had far t many penalties tonight.The Utes scored 26 straight points after falling behind 14-3. Williams got both of his running TDs in the second half and had 245 yards passing for the game. Armand Shyne also ran for a TD in the third quarter, while the defense tightened up and forced two second-half turnovers and allowed just nine points. Shyne finished with 101 yards on 19 carries.The Utes moved into a tie atop the Pac-12 South with Colorado. They ended a four-game losing streak to Arizona. After beating Arizonas Rich Rodriguez, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham has defeated every active Pac-12 coach since joining the conference in 2011. Whittingham also got his 100th career victory.THE TAKEAWAYArizona: The Wildcats allowed more than 400 yards for the fifth consecutive game. Fans will be happy to have Dawkins back, but Arizona was held to 127 yards rushing, including just 78 from players other than Dawkins. The sophomore quarterback threw for 243 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions and also ran for a score. Freshman Khalil Tate finished the game for the second consecutive week.I dont think our defense wore down, Arizona linebacker Michael Barton said. They just kept attacking and we just tried to fight as best we could. We had a lot of new guys in there today, guys who hadnt played any snaps before today.Utah: USCs win over Colorado helped the Utes move into a tie for first, but they cant feel great about it. The offense finished with fine statistics, but most of the positives came in the second half against a team that entered the game ranked No. 104 in the nation in total defense. The defense allowed a season-high 475 yards.We had a few big plays made on us, but we bounced back every time they happened, Utah safety Marcus Williams said. We never put our heads down. We just kept grinding through the game and we just got this win.QUOTABLEWhat do you want me to do, quit? Rodriguez said when asked about keeping the morale high. Were just going to go down here and hitchhike home and go feel sorry for ourselves and just cancel the season.Is that what you expect? You want those coaches and players in there to quit? Just because we lose a game or two? Cmon, these guys are going to fight.POLL IMPLICATIONSUtah is unlikely to get a whole lot of credit after squeaking past a 2-4 team thats 0-3 in the Pac-12. Any significant jump is likely due to losses by No. 15 Stanford, No. 17 North Carolina and No. 21 Colorado.INJURY UPDATEBoth teams entered the game with several injuries to significant players. Dawkins started for Arizona after leaving last game with a rib injury, but running back Nick Wilson (ankle) did not play.Utah was without running backs Zack Moss and Troy McCormick, starting receiver Tim Patrick and top two centers J.J. Dielman and Lo Falemaka. Shyne was carried off the field by teammates after suffering a left leg injury on a fourth-quarter run. Whittingham said the injury could be season-ending.UP NEXTArizona: The Wildcats host USC in Pac-12 South action on October 15.Utah: The Utes travel to face former defensive crdinator Gary Andersen and his Oregon State Beavers on October 15. Budda Baker Jersey Cardinals .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later. Kurt Warner White Jersey . Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. http://www.arizonacardinalsshoponline.com/adrian-wilson-cardinals-jersey.html . -- Canadian Andrew Wiggins got the ball on the wing, made a nifty spin move and then let go with a soft floater from about 10 feet that swished through the net in Allen Fieldhouse. Christian Kirk Ftball Jersey . They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display. Arizona Cardinals Larry Fitzgerald Jersey .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament. CINCINNATI -- Only 13 players in the major leagues this season have hit more home runs than?Adam Duvalls 28. His .522 slugging percentage ranks in the top 30.Duvall, 27, has square shoulders, a square jaw and thick arms, and he weighs about 225 pounds. He stands 6-ft-1 but lks taller in the on-deck circle. Of the five traditional tls in baseball, Duvalls meal ticket is power. It has earned him a coveted everyday job on the Cincinnati Reds, batting behind Joey Votto.Duvalls power prompted the league to select him for the Home Run Derby in San Diego. There, he helped put on an entertaining show, filling the outfield stands with baseballs, along with Giancarlo Stanton and the games other notable sluggers.Yet it was a lack of strength that alerted Duvall to a serious illness four years ago. Gone untreated, it could have put him in a coma or even taken his life. The Reds left fielder has Type 1 diabetes. Every time he steps on a major league field, he has a quarter-sized glucose meter stuck somewhere on his body. He moves it every six days to find fresh insertion sites. Another needle inserted in his skin is connected to an insulin pump that he stashes in his back pocket. The tiny computer, protected by the same plastic that makes up bicycle helmets, is battered from a couple of years of sliding on it. The devices are connected via Bluetth technology.They are his lifelines.A Type 1 diabetic has an immune system that attacks certain cells in the pancreas, and as a result, the pancreas no longer produces insulin, the hormone that controls bld glucose levels. If Duvall were to give himself t much insulin or skip a meal at the wrong time, he could lose consciousness, have a seizure or even die.There are instances of people getting low overnight who dont sense it, said Washington University endocrinologist Cynthia Herrick. They dont wake up.Duvall is playing a higher-stakes game than virtually any other major leaguer. His ability to regulate his bld sugar is crucial to his ability to have the necessary energy to play the game and the required alertness to succeed. Like everything else in baseball, Duvalls condition gets sized and fitted for the games jocular culture.I know its super-serious, but we kind of mess with him because hes having a great year, teammate Tyler Holt said. Every time he hits a home run or does something well, I joke with him, Whatd you give yourself, a couple of extra pumps to get you going a little more?In December 2011, Duvall was puzzled that he was waking up five or six times a night to urinate. The following month, weightlifting became unbearable. He felt weak much of the time. He sometimes became lightheaded. By the time he got to minor league spring training with the San Francisco Giants, he estimates he had lost 20 pounds.During a game that March, he felt so lightheaded he had to come off the field.The trainer gave me some orange juice, and I started to feel better, Duvall said. We hadnt gotten the tests back, but all the signs were there.Most people are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes -- sometimes called juvenile diabetes -- by the time they are 20. Duvall was 23. At the time, he was entering high Class-A baseball and was older than many of his teammates, and thus anxious not to lose time adjusting to a different regimen. So when the dctor informed him he was diabetic, he tk it surprisingly in stride.ddddddddddddIt wasnt a huge ordeal just because I really just wanted to find out what was going on, he said. When I found out, I tk a deep breath and was like, OK, where do we go, what do we do now, and just take care of it.St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Dean Kiekhefer was a teammate of Duvalls on a traveling AAU team based in Louisville, Kentucky. They were in the fourth grade. They have kept in touch ever since.Hes a really gd dude. Hes kind of quiet, keeps to himself, goes about his business and works hard, Kiekhefer said. The only thing I thought was crazy was that when we were growing up, he was an unbelievable shortstop. I thought he would be a major league shortstop. Now hes playing the outfield, and it just shows the work ethic and talent he has.Kiekhefer said he has encountered players in the minor leagues who carry insulin pumps in their back pockets.Who knows if 20 years ago theyd have been able to play, he said. They might have had to run off the field all of a sudden.When Hall of Famer Ron Santo was playing for the Chicago Cubs 50 years ago, he concealed his Type 1 diabetes, worried that he would be forced into retirement if he was found out. He gauged his bld sugar by his md, snacking on a candy bar if he felt low. Until the advent of insulin pumps, Type 1 diabetics had to administer insulin shots to themselves at least three times a day, usually before meals.Although Santo was diagnosed at 18, he didnt reveal the struggle until he was close to retirement. Santo had each of his legs amputated below the knee, one in 2001 and the other in 2002. He died in 2010 at 70. Insulin pumps were invented in 1976, two years after Santo retired.It probably was a lot harder, Herrick said. The thing about the pump is it allows us to do a lot more fine-tuning of the insulin regimen people are on.The most common form of diabetes, Type 2, is a condition in which a persons body does not process insulin properly. It is associated with obesity and lack of exercise as well as other factors. Cardinals Hall of Famer Lou Brock was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 17 years ago and had his left leg amputated below the knee last fall.Duvall has done volunteer work with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation both in San Francisco and southern Ohio. Its an exciting time in diabetes research, according to Herrick. Engineers have designed pumps in trial stages that are capable of monitoring glucose levels and then infusing either insulin or glucogon, the counterbalancing hormone. The pumps act as an artificial pancreas outside the body. Other researchers are exploring ways of using stem cells to differentiate into the kinds of cells that can replace those destroyed by antibodies in a Type 1 diabetics pancreas.Duvall monitors the research from afar via contacts with the JDRF. Hes hoping before long to have one of the more advanced pumps to help simplify his regimen. Like most athletes, he is always searching for the latest and greatest breakthroughs in performance technology.In this case, it simply helps him stay on the field. The rest of it, including the prodigious power, is up to him. ' ' '
