Joe Williams came out of retirement and ran for 179 yards and a five-yard first-quarter touchdown and No. After quarterback Troy Williams ran for an eight-yard touchdown to extend Utah’s lead, the Beavers scored on Marcus McMaryion’s 14-yard pass to Hunter Jarmon. But ultimately Oregon State couldn’t overcome its first-half struggles. Joe Williams’ return to practice this week was spurred by a spate of injuries to Utah’s running backs corps — a concern because the wild weather expected for the game was expected to affect the passing game. “It was great to have him back, it was a huge blessing for us,” Utah Coach Kyle Whittingham said.
