NOLD DEBUTS: Darnold makes his first start at the Coliseum after getting promoted last week. Helton yanked the job from junior M Antworten

LOS ANGELES -- Although Southern Californias 1/3 start under coach Clay Helton is undeniably dismaying, Trojans fans couldnt find their September stumble through a brutal schedule to be completely surprising.With unbeaten Arizona State visiting the Coliseum on Saturday, its time to find out whether Helton is really in trouble.USC has failed to exceed realistic expectations so far this season, losing away from home to No. 1 Alabama, No. 7 Stanford and No. 18 Utah in the schools worst start since 2001. Helton changed starting quarterbacks after just three games, but the switch from Max Browne to Sam Darnold didnt fix much.If the Trojans, already 0-2 in Pac-12 play, cant derail Arizona States promising start, mere postseason eligibility could be a problem for a program that expects to contend for national championships, not minor bowl games.Thats likely to endanger the job of Helton, who is already in a tricky situation with new athletic director Lynn Swann. Helton, the well-liked veteran assistant, was promoted last year to the top job -- and given a lavish multiyear contract -- by AD Pat Haden, who subsequently left.You know the expectations going into this job, Helton said. If you dont welcome that, youre at the wrong place. I welcome it.Those expectations demand that Heltons Trojans awake from their slow start to contend with the high-powered Sun Devils (4-0, 1-0), who would be off to their best start since 2007 with another victory.Coach Todd Grahams quick-strike offense is averaging nearly 49 points per game for new offensive coordinator Manny Wilkins, with 16 rushing touchdowns already this season.Here are some things to know about the Sun Devils visit to the Coliseum:JAEL MARY: The last time Arizona State visited the Coliseum two years ago, the Sun Devils stunned the Trojans with a 38-34 victory on Jaelen Strongs 46-yard Hail Mary TD catch from Mike Bercovici as time expired. Arizona State scored three touchdowns in the final 3:53 to beat Steve Sarkisians Trojans, with Bercovici passing for 510 yards and five scores. The victory was the Sun Devils first at the venerable Coliseum since 1999. I would be a liar if I didnt tell you that was a great memory of mine, Graham said. That will always be special moment to me, and I would love to go create another one.DARNOLD DEBUTS: Darnold makes his first start at the Coliseum after getting promoted last week. Helton yanked the job from junior Max Browne after only three starts, and Darnold went 18 of 26 for 253 yards and no touchdowns in USCs loss at Utah. Darnolds mobility and playmaking knack stood out to Helton, but the freshman could use another strong performance to cement his new role. I think we have the guys, Darnold said. We have the weapons. We just need to execute and not turn the ball over.DEFENSE DIP: While Arizona States offense is humming, the defense has been discordant. The Sun Devils yielded 55 points to Texas Tech, 41 to California and 28 to Texas-San Antonio. They rank in the bottom half of the Pac-12 in most statistical categories, and Graham is hoping for improvement against the Trojans talent-stacked offense. I think that we are probably trying to do too much early in the season for where were at, Graham said. Were trying to find where that happy medium is, because you cant be just completely simple. You have to be able to execute what youre trying to execute. I think were figuring out what we can do.ADOREES TURN: Helton expects speedy defensive back Adoree Jackson to get more playing time on offense against the Sun Devils. The two-way star hasnt caught a pass this season, and he carried the ball for the first time last week.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Danny Etling Jersey . John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well early. Derek Rivers Jersey .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee. http://www.patriotsauthenticshop.com/Patriots-James-White-Draft-Jersey/ . Supported by three-run homers from Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos, the young right-hander went seven strong innings in the Washington Nationals 8-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. Duke Dawson Jersey . A lawyer for MLB, Matthew Menchel, confirmed Wednesday the league dropped its case against Biogenesis of America, its owner Anthony Bosch and several other individuals. The lawsuit had accused Biogenesis and Bosch of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned performance-enhancing substances. Lawrence Guy Jersey . "Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Joe Williams got the call Monday. Would he consider coming back to the Utes?It was a quick yes, the running back said.With just a week of practice, Williams came out of retirement and ran for 179 yards and a touchdown for No. 21 Utah on Saturday in a rain-soaked 19-14 victory over Oregon State.The senior who left the team following the second game of the season finished with 34 carries and the Utes (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12) became bowl eligible with the victory.Its like riding a bike, he smiled.Trailing 12-7, Oregon State (2-4, 1-2) got as close as the Utah 9 with 8:25 left in the game, but couldnt score and Garrett Owens 27-yard field goal attempt went wide left.After quarterback Troy Williams ran for an 8-yard touchdown to extend Utahs lead, the Beavers scored on Marcus McMaryions 14-yard pass to Hunter Jarmon for the final margin. But ultimately Oregon State couldnt overcome its first-half struggles.The game was costly for Oregon State. Starting quarterback Darell Garretson (ankle) and backup Conor Blount (knee) were both on crutches following the game. Running back Ryan Nall (foot) left the game after one carry.Yeah, were down a few guys, but thats another reason Im proud of this group, Oregon State coach Gary Andersen said. They kept on fighting.Joe Williams return to practice this week was spurred by a spate of injuries to Utahs running backs corps -- a concern because the wild weather expected for the game would undoubtedly impact the passing game.Utah had lost sophomore running back Armand Shyne for the season during a 36-23 victory over Arizona last Saturday. Junior Jordan Howard made his debut at running back following Shynes injury, but he was able to play against Oregon State, presumably because of injury. Junior Troy McCormick and freshman Zack Moss were also unavailable.In addition to pulling Joe Williams out of retirement, the Utes switched wide receiver Cory Butler-Boyd to running back this week.It was great to have him back, it was a huge blessing for us, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said about Williams. It was nice to have an experienced guy like Joe back in the lineup.Oregon State started Nall, who was seeen in a boot earlier this week.dddddddddddd But after a carry for 32 yards in the opening quarter, he did not return. Nall rushed for 221 yards and three touchdowns last week in Oregon States 47-44 overtime victory over Cal.Following Joe Williams touchdown, the Utes also scored on a safety and Andy Phillips kicked a 25-yard goal to take a 12-0 lead into halftime.Oregon State closed the gap with an 18-yard touchdown run from Artavis Pierce, but Owens missed a 51-yard field goal attempt midway through the third quarter that would have gotten the Beavers closer.THE TAKEAWAYUtah: Safety Chase Hansen had an interception a sack and two tackles for loss -- all in the first quarter. ... Troy Williams was impacted by the weather, completing just four of 13 passes for 42 yards.Oregon State: After a sloppy first half that included just 55 offensive yards, the Beavers exploded for 107 yards in the third quarter as they narrowed the game. ... Garretson completed just four of 20 passes for 24 yards before he was injured in the fourth quarter.POLL IMPLICATIONSUtah became bowl eligible with the victory, and should hold steady in Sundays AP Top 25. The Utes were tied at the top of the Pac-12 South with Arizona State and Colorado going into the game, with the Sun Devils facing the Buffaloes on Saturday night in Colorado.BLAME IT ON THE RAINThe rough weather was caused by the remnants of a Pacific typhoon and led to widespread power outages in Western Oregon. The crowd for the game was meager, with many wearing orange rain ponchos, but they cheered when the sun briefly came out in the second quarter and Walking on Sunshine blared from the Reser Stadium PA system.QUOTABLE: Our O-line was blocking something vicious, said Butler-Boyd, who finished with 54 yards rushing.UP NEXTUtah: The Utes play a second straight game on the road at UCLA, which played at Washington State on Saturday night.Oregon State: The Beavers visit No. 5 Washington, which had a bye this week.
