SALT LAKE CITY -- Joe Williams had a feeling his phone would be ringing soon after seeing Utah starting running back Armand Shyne go down with a season-ending injury in Game 6.His fiancee and father were the first to mention the possibility to the former Utah running back.Sure enough, the Utah coaching staff reached out Oct. 10 to Williams, who retired Sept. 13, to gauge his interest in returning after injuries to Shyne, Zack Moss and Troy McCormick destroyed the Utes depth at the position. The senior returned Tuesday, started Saturday and paced the 19th-ranked Utes (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12) with 179 rushing yards and a touchdown in a 19-14 win over Oregon State. Utah travels to face UCLA on Saturday.I made the decision more for the team rather than myself, Williams said. Put all that injuries and selfish attitude aside and put it all on the line for them. (Leaving was) more psychological. This is a rough sport out here to play and Ive been doing it for so long. Just sitting and talking to my family, knowing in my mind it would be the right decision to step away from it. ... My body just didnt feel right at the time.Williams was the heir apparent to Devontae Booker when the season started, but he managed just 75 yards combined in the first two games and was benched with a fumbling issue. The retirement was abrupt, but the other backs had played better and deserved more playing time.Then they all got banged up. Kenric Young and Brian Allen FaceTimed Williams first thing in the morning last Monday to come start conditioning. Then offensive administrative assistant Nick Alaimalo and running backs coach Dennis Erickson got in touch.Coach Kyle Whittingham said he checked with the team to make sure the players approved of a Williams return and went from there.The Utes didnt bother easing him back in and gave Williams 34 carries in a weather-affected game.He really hit the ground running, I guess you could say, Whittingham said. Came back the exact same body weight. Wind wasnt quite where it was, the conditioning level. Three good days of practice. We didnt anticipate him having the workload that he did.We figured wed test the waters with Joe and see what his interest level was -- physically did he feel like he could do it. ... When it was all said and done, he felt like it was the right thing to do to come back and help the football team.Williams said hed been keeping in shape and the roster has him listed at 205 pounds, but he admitted to living a relaxed, retired life while continuing to take classes. He discussed the situation with family and Utah receiver Cory Butler-Byrd, who was the most adamant among his teammates. The two are close and Williams is the godfather of Butler-Byrds newborn son.He had been attending home games and sitting in the seats he would normally give to family and friends. He described the experience as enlightening.Williams said he was somewhat surprised to get the call despite his father and fiancee saying so after the Arizona game. He assumed Moss or McCormick would be ready, but that wasnt the case.Williams seemed to run with more purpose than he did early in the season. He wore down as the game went on, but thats to be expected after a month off. Being back wasnt too weird.I told them that I left personally for psychological problems and physical dilemmas that I thought would be harmful to the team, Williams said. Not able to perform at my best and be more of a cancer to the long haul of the Pac-12 season. I told them that me coming back is more for yall.Quarterback Troy Williams said he was welcomed back with open arms.Great to have him back with the team, Troy Williams said. Thats our brother. ...

Luiten, who entered the day with a three-stroke lead, shot a 71 to finish at 17-under 271 on the Diamond Country Club course. "Its a great feeling, its been a great week," said Luiten, whose previous win came at the Iskandar Johor Open in Malaysia in November 2011, two months after finishing third in Atzenbrugg. The victory was Luitens third European Tour top-10 finish of the season and 20th overall. The win will raise his world ranking from 137th to just inside the top 100. Thomas Bjorn of Denmark (68) finished second at 15 under. Liang Wen-chong of China (66) and Romain Wattel of France (69) shared third, another stroke off the pace. Luiten bogeyed the first hole but led throughout the day. His closest challengers after the third round, Spaniards Jorge Campillo (72) and Eduardo de la Riva (73), failed to threaten. "It was a long day. It started off with a bogey but I hit the ball nice," Luiten said. "I made some mistakes on the greens, I didnt make a lot of putts. Luckily I made a birdie on the 16th, and its always nice to finish with par and par." At the event two yeaars ago, Luiten also led for most of the final round.dddddddddddd But he bogeyed the last hole and finished third, trailing winner Kenneth Ferrie of England by one stroke. This time, the Dutchman had a solid finish to his round to keep Bjorn, who followed up Saturdays 64 with a 68, at a distance. Before Luiten teed off on the 14th hole, play was suspended for an hour because of thunderclouds. "At that time I wanted to play on, but I think it was good to have a break," Luiten said. "I wasnt playing really well before the break, so I got some food and tried to focus again." Defending champion Bernd Wiesberger shot a 69 to tie for 14th at 8 under, missing a chance to qualify for the U.S. Open. Wiesberger made a bogey on the 18th hole. As it turned out, he would have needed a birdie to pass Kyle Stanley in the world ranking and have a chance to get into the top 60. Sunday was the last day for the top 60 to be exempt for the U.S. Open, which starts Thursday at Merion Golf Club outside Philadelphia. "The bogey on the 18th was very disappointing," said Wiesberger, who needed a top-10 finish to stand a reasonable chance of qualifying. "Ive just made too many mistakes the whole week." ' ' '
