SALT LAKE CITY -- Troy Williams was one of the most anticipated incoming recruits in recent Utah history.The Utes passing game had consistently been one of the worst in the Pac-12 since they joined the league in 2011 and Williams was transferring in after being rated the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the nation by Rivals after his senior year of high school.The junior started every game in 2016 with mixed results. Utah finished No. 9 in the Pac-12 with 216.9 passing yards per game and major red zone issues that left them ranked No. 115 in the nation in scoring percentage. But the former Washington signee also led Utah to a 7-1 start and was putting them in position to win the Pac-12 South before a 1/3 finish dashed those hopes.Williams was a leader from the moment he stepped on campus, was named a captain and was routinely the last player off the practice field. He wants to finish the season strong with a win over Indiana (6-6) in the Foster Farms Bowl on Dec. 28, but he also has an eye on 2017.Of course next year is in the back of my head, Williams said. Im thinking about it day-in and day-out. I just want to take care of business first and get a win. For next year, make sure I go all out in everything I do and just have a lot better year than I did this year.Coach Kyle Whittingham thought it took three or four games before Williams truly settled in. He threw three interceptions in a one-point win against BYU and another against San Jose State in the last two nonconference games. But he had just three more the rest of the season. Williams finished the regular season with 2,579 yards -- the No. 12 best single season in school history -- 15 touchdowns and a 53.4 completion percentage.Stopped trying to do too much, trying to make plays when there wasnt one there to be made, Whittingham said about Williams progress. Better decisions. Took better care of the ball. So we just think that he got better as the season went along. Hes a good athlete and a good quarterback. We think hes going to continue to trend upward in a positive direction.There was one facet of Williams game that was missing most of the season -- the run game. He was mobile in the pocket and created time by slipping out of the pocket, but he rarely looked to run -- even if the opportunity seemed to be there. That was expected to be a significant part of his skill-set.Williams explained that he sprained his MCL against USC in Week 4 and was never the same. Minimizing risk to remain on the field became a priority with freshman Tyler Huntley being the only other quarterback on the roster.I was just trying to stay to my progressions as much as I could, Williams said. I feel like I could have run a lot more. My knee, it really wasnt a big issue. I probably lost a little bit of explosiveness. Im not making any excuses. I probably should have run the ball a lot more. Thats just my main focus on what I should improve on going into next year.Williams path has been winding and next year is expected be his last. Things didnt work out at Washington after Chris Petersen was hired and he was humbled by playing for a year at Santa Monica College without a scholarship. He gained more confidence as the season progressed, but the Utes pass-catchers were unspectacular outside of oft-injured senior Tim Patrick.The desire to make an impression on the NFL will be present and hell have to improve his accuracy and red-zone decisions. And, again, there will hope from Utah fans for an offense that is a true threat in what Whittingham likes to call the throw game.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Cheap Jerseys 2018 . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck is tired of talking football.Hes ready to actually play.Sure, Saturdays game against Baltimore is only a preseason opportunity to match wits with one of the leagues traditionally strong defenses. Yes, its at home, where he hasnt suited up in more than nine months. And, of course, hes eager to prove hes back to his old self.The Colts quarterback just doesnt want to make more of it than necessary.Its another step, Luck said Tuesday. In any seasons journey, regardless of what happened the previous year, it will be good to step on the field and run some plays with the guys.This year is different, though.Many fans have eagerly awaited Lucks return from an injury-marred 2015, a season in which the three-time Pro Bowler went 2-5 as the starter, was on pace to throw far more interceptions than any of his previous three seasons in the league and failed to make the playoffs for the first time. Initially, it looked like the comeback journey would begin Aug. 7 at Canton, Ohio -- until the game was canceled because of unsafe field conditions.Last week, coach Chuck Pagano implied that his starters were likely to play one or two series as had been the case in previous seasons. Eventually, he decided not to take any chances with Luck on a rainy day Buffalo or against the Bills blitz-happy defense.The next chance comes this weekend, and all indications are that Luck will finally play.I assume so, he said with a laugh.If Luck he does make it onto the field Saturday, the to-do list will be long.First, he must get acclimated to taking snaps under game conditions from rookie center Ryan Kelly, the Colts first-round draft pick. Kelly played 15 snaps in last weekends 19-18 victory over the Bills.It will mark the first time Luck runs Rob Chudzinskis revamped offense against an opponent. Chudzinski took over as coordinator when Pep Hamilton was fired in November but waited until the offseason to install his entire offense.This game also could be the firsst real test of how the new play-calling system works.dddddddddddd Chudzinski intends to take advantage of a rules change that allows coordinators to call plays from the coaches booth directly to the quarterback. Previously, play calls from the coaches box had to be called to sideline and relayed to the quarterback.While Luck cant wait to get back to work and beyond some of the lingering questions about his health and performance, some teammates are excited to see Luck play for the first time since sustaining a lacerated kidney against Denver on Nov. 8.Absolutely, I want to see him play, Pro Bowl linebacker Robert Mathis said. Hes our franchise quarterback.Pagano acknowledged Tuesday that the Colts were pretty vanilla in their play-calling last weekend and has not dropped any hints about whether that will change with Luck presumably behind center. He is keeping the play-count on Luck a secret, too.Receiver T.Y. Hilton, Lucks favorite target, doesnt expect Luck to be rusty after such a long absence.Thats what OTAs and minicamps are for, Hilton said. Hes ready and I want him out there.Luck wants to be out there leading and inspiring his teammates for as long as he can -- just like any other game.Ive always thought that the first preseason game as a rookie is a special, special thing. Its the first time you go and put on a uniform, then after that they are all somewhat the same in a sense, Luck said. Its not to downplay any of them, there are things you get better at. Winning regular season games is the important thing.Note: The Colts released veteran receiver Josh Boyce on Tuesday. Afterward, Pagano said the Colts were hoping to get more looks at the receivers currently on the roster -- and perhaps a free agent they may sign before Saturday.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys 2019 Cheap NFL T-shirts Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale Stitched Jerseys Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap Stitched Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Jerseys NFL Cheap Wholesale NFL Autographed Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping ' ' '
