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. ... It was like he never left. Mark Herzlich Jersey . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming.

Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2.

Italy and the visiting South Africa have just a win apiece between them from their last six fixtures, with the Springboks only managing a draw against the Barbarians a fortnight ago. After heavy defeats by New Zealand and England respectively, both teams will be desperate for a win to reset their autumn campaigns. Lovers of beautiful rugby might want to look away though -- its unlikely to be anything other than a blood and thunder Test match.Team newsHead coach Conor OShea has made four changes from the side that lost 68-10 to the All Blacks last weekend. Giovanbattista Venditti starts on the left wing while Sami Panico and Omel Gega will line up in the front row. Francesco Minto comes in alongside evergreen captain Sergio Parisse in the back-row.OSheas counterpart Allister Coetzee has restored Bryan Habana to the wing in one of two changes to the Springboks unit in Florence. The record try-scorer comes into the starting XV along with Nizaam Carr, who makes his first start in the famous green jersey in place of the concussed Eben Etzebeth.Italy: Padovani, Bisegni, Benvenuti, McLean, Venditti, Canna, Bronzini; Panico, Gega, Cittadini, Fuser, Van Schalkwyk, Minto, Favaro, Parisse (c). Replacements: DApice, Quaglio, Ferrari, Fabio Biagi, Steyn, Gori, Allan, Boni.South Africa: Le Roux, Combrinck, Venter, De Allende, Habana, Lambie, Paige; Mtawarira, Strauss (c), Koch, Du Toit, de Jager, Carr, Alberts, Whiteley. Replacements: Mbonambi, Kitshoff, Nyakane, Mostert, Mohoje, De Klerk, Jantjies, GoosenKey head-to-headThere is rarely a more important head--to-head battle than Italys talisman Sergio Parisse against whoever is lining up at No.dddddddddddd 8 opposite him. On Saturday that man will be Warren Whiteley, the South African giant who took a beating from Englands Billy Vunipola a week ago. Whiteley will be out to stamp his authority on a game for a change and should benefit if the game loosens up in the second half. While Parisse isnt the same wrecking ball player as Vunipola, hell be as full of running as the England unit. His hands on the ball will be key to Italy keeping the scoreboard moving.Key stats*South Africa have won all 12 of their Test matches against Italy.*However, both are in need of a win after only one victory in each of their last six matches. Saturday could easily be described as the most important Test for each side this November.WeatherWho knows what will happen with the weather on Saturday? The forecast predicts sunshine and heavy showers, which could make for treacherous rugby conditions at Stadio Artemio Franchi. Handling in the wet could be tricky for two sides struggling with their attacking games. Temperatures should hit around 16 degrees celsius.PredictionSouth Africa have the form in this fixture, undefeated in a dozen Tests against the Azzurri. However, Coetzees men have been in abysmal form and should have suffered a heavier defeat against England last weekend. Italy were never likely to run New Zealand close a week ago but could push the Springboks deeper into the match. Expect the visitors to win, but it wont be a cricket score. South Africa by 15.
