GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Kalani Sitake faced a difficult decision in his debut as BYUs coach. He could send out Rhett Almond to attempt a game-winning kick despite the sophomore missing a field and an extra point earlier in the game or turn to freshman Jake Oldroyd.Sitake went with the freshman, with an assist to special teams coach Ed Lamb, and it worked out perfectly for the Cougars.Oldroyd kicked a 33-yard field goal with 4 seconds left and Jamaal Williams ran for 162 yards, helping BYU rally to beat Arizona 18-16 on Saturday night.After the field goal and PAT we had earlier; I wouldnt say it was a good time to do it, but I felt comfortable with Jake being in that position, Sitake said.BYU sputtered at times, but pulled out a victory to start a brutal opening stretch of the season.Williams looked like he never left after sitting out last season due to personal reasons, carrying 29 times to spark BYUs offense.Taysom Hill was sharp after missing most of last season with a foot injury, hitting 21 of 29 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown.It still was tight.Arizonas Nick Wilson scored on a 49-yard run with 1:26 left and the Wildcats failed on the 2-point conversion, giving the Cougars a final chance at University of Phoenix Stadium.BYU started its final drive on its own 31 and quickly moved down the field to set up Oldroyds kick. The freshman split the uprights, raised his arms and ran toward BYUs sideline after hitting a winning kick in his first career game .We were calm the whole time, Hill said of the final drive. We knew we had a great opportunity.Arizona went through a difficult fall camp, trying to focus on football after offensive lineman Zach Hemmila was found dead in his apartment on Aug. 8. Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez joined Hemmilas family with athletic director Greg Byrne and offensive line coach Jim Michalczik for a pre-game ceremony that include a highlight video.The Wildcats had plenty of questions heading into the season, the big one being who will start at quarterback.Anu Solomon got the start after a tight battle with sophomore Brandon Dawkins that started in spring, but struggled against BYUs defensive pressure up front for most of the game.This one is on me, said Solomon, who threw for 213 yards on 20-of-30 passing. I have to play better.He wasnt alone.Wilson also scored on a 15-yard run in the fourth quarter and finished with 138 yards rushing, one of the few bright spots on Arizonas offense. The Wildcats finished with 328 total yards, 190 of that coming in the fourth quarter.You ask the same question four or five times, it eventually becomes like a lawyer, Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said. Ask the same question four times, youre going to get the same I answer, I think. Maybe not.THE TAKEAWAYBYU: Williams was explosive at times and Hill was efficient in his return, coming through when the Cougars needed him to. Despite some breakdowns in the fourth quarter, BYUs defense was solid, holding Arizonas quick-hitting offense in check most of the night.Arizona: The offensive line, one of the teams most experienced groups, could not solve BYUs pressure until late. The defense, solid for most of the night, allowed the Cougars to quick-hit their way down the field to set up the winning kick. Arizona entered the season with plenty of questions and didnt get many answers.JONES INJUREDArizona suffered a big blow in the second quarter when spur linebacker Tellas Jones went down with an injury and did not return.The sophomore was one of the few known entities on Arizonas defense and was arguably its best player in the first half, ranging all over the field.We still had 11 guys out there, Rodriguez said. Tellas is a good player, but we still had 11 guys out there.QUOTABLEI was joking around afterward (Oldroyds kick) that there was so much conversation about my age and Im 26, I told the team Im too old for this, Im stressed, said Hill, who was granted a fifth year of eligibility after his injury last season.UP NEXTBYU: The Cougars continue a brutal start to the season at Utah next Saturday, followed by games against UCLA and West Virginia.Arizona: The Wildcats play their home opener against Grambling State next Saturday.

Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check.Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud insists he is not worried about his mini goal-drought having gone eight games without scoring. If he fails to score against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Super Sunday, it will be the Frenchmans longest run of games without a goal since he arrived at Arsenal in 2012.But Giroud has 18 goals this season in all competitions, and needs just five more to mark his best-ever season at the Emirates, and is convinced his scoring touch will return. Giroud has not scored in eight games, and one more would represent his worst run for Arsenal He told Sky Sports: As a striker, it is all about momentum. I did well until mid-January, but it has been one-and-a-half months since I last scored. I try to help the team to set up the game and assist my team-mates, which I am pleased about, but obviously as a striker I want to score. Arsenal have too much for Utd Will Danny Welbeck return to haunt United? Should Marcus Rashford start? Graeme Souness looks ahead But I am not worried about that. I work for the team and when I have the opportunity to put it in the net I will do it with determination, and hopefully this weekend.The 29-year-old has received praise and criticism in equal measure during his time at the Emirates since arriving from Montpellier for £9.6m in 2012, but his scoring rate has been almost one in every two games in those three-and-a-half years. The Frenchman has 18 goals in all competitions this season Giroud, who also scored four goals in nine appearances for France in 2015, says the criticism is all part of the game, and insists he deals with it every single week. Its the game. When you are a striker and you score, you are at the top and on the front page. If you do not score you are also maybe on the front page in a bad way because you did not succeed to help the team win. Giroud has not scored since bagging a double in the 3-3 draw at Liverpool in January But it is a game and I have known this for a few years.dddddddddddd I am OK with that and deal with it every single week. I know what I have to do on the pitch.Fellow striker Danny Welbeck returned from injury a fortnight ago to hand Arsenal a last-gasp win over Leicester at the Emirates, and impressed during a cameo appearance in the defeat by Barcelona on Tuesday. While Giroud is adamant that Welbecks return does not pile unwanted pressure on his shoulders, he admits both players cannot start up front.No [pressure], not at all. I am asking him all the time how his body feels. He is a good lad and I have a good understanding with him. Danny Welbeck celebrates scoring the winner at Old Trafford in the FA Cup last season, but they have not won there in the Premier League since 2006 I am happy that he is back as he is very important for the team as he brings us some power and pace up front, and some physical presence as well, so we are very complimentary. But the problem is we cannot both play up front, I think it is even better for the boss to have several strikers with different qualities and I am happy for that and for him that he scored against Leicester.I know this feeling after coming back from injury - even more for him because it was a long one. Danny Welbeck celebrates with Giroud and Theo Walcott following the last-gasp winner against Leicester Giroud insists that if manager Arsene Wenger decides to start Welbeck and leave him on the bench for Sundays game at Old Trafford, where Arsenal have not won in the league since 2006, he is happy to put the teams interests first. The players who do not start the game need to bring something when they come on the pitch, so my motivation will definitely be high even if I do not start the game, he said.I am obviously happier on the pitch, but if the boss wants to change his tactics or play more on the counter-attack, I am happy with that and to help the team when I get in.
