    as Utah defeated Northwest Nazarene 81-37 in its season opener Saturday
    evening.Utah fans got their first full glimpse of the new-look Utes and their
    roster consisting of just two legitimate contributors from last season.This
    morning, I was just extra turned up, Kuzma said. I dont for whatever reason. Its
    game day.I tried to bring energy. I think that was the biggest thing. When we
    have energy-givers, then everybody feeds off of that.The Utes struggled mightily
    for the first 16 minutes of the first half until a 17-3 run basically put the
    game away after they led 36-20 at halftime. Utah shot under 40 percent most of
    the first half as the offense seemed to have no real direction.Kuzma started
    passively, like the rest of the team, but picked up the aggression and finished
    with 13 points and 12 rebounds in the first half alone. He highlighted the 17-3
    stretch with a spinning floater while being fouled. Teammate Tyler Rawson added
    13 points.Its a starting point for us, Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. We had
    guys that tried to push the issue a little bit too much. Didnt trust the
    offense. We cleaned it up a little bit and got some composure in the second
    half.Some of its jitters. Got to find some consistency and some roles.Northwest
    Nazarene, which was playing a back-to-back after defeating Simpson University
    92-67 on Friday, shot just 16.4 percent from the field and 1 for 25 from behind
    the arc. Maurice Jones scored 11 points. The 37 points are the fourth fewest
    Utah has allowed since 1982.Obviously, we played a team that was much bigger and
    more talented to their level, Northwest Nazarene coach Scott Flemming said. I
    never would have thought we would shoot the ball so poorly tonight. We have a
    really good shooting team. We hit eleven 3s last night against different
    competition.Even the open looks we got, I think that was the biggest problem.
    Now when youre not making shots, all of the other things kind of are obvious,
    too -- their rebounding, their size, all those kind of things. It hurts in
    transition. It still is a good game for us to have.BIG PICTURENorthwest
    Nazarene: No harm, no foul for the Crusaders. As a Division 2 member of the
    Great Northwest Athletic Conference, the loss doesnt count toward their
    regular-season record. Plus, they have to feel pretty good about the early parts
    of the first half against a Pac-12 program that has reached the NCAA Tournament
    the last two seasons.Utah: Theres lots of work to do for a Utah team with just
    two returners having played significant minutes. The offense had no flow for
    much of the game outside of the spurts when Kuzma took over. The defensive
    intensity came and went. The Utes must improve before Pac-12 play or they will
    live up (or down) to their preseason pick of finishing No. 8 in the league.SHORT
    STAFFEDUtah will be without newcomers David Collette and Sedrick Barefield until
    the Utes play face Prairie View A&M on Dec. 17. The two will miss the first
    eight games due to transfer rules, but are expected to be starters once they
    return. Sophomore Parker Van Dyke, freshman Devon Daniels and redshirt freshman
    Jayce Johnson started alongside returning starters Kuzma and Lorenzo Bonam.BALL
    CONTROLThe Utes had 19 turnovers, including seven from Bonam, who had six at
    halftime. Krystkowiak said the goal was 12. Bonam struggled all around with just
    five points and going 0 for 4 after making his first basket.UP NEXTNorthwest
    Nazarene: The Crusaders face Portland Bible in Caldwell, Idaho, in the Taco Bell
    Shootout.Utah: The Utes host Concordia on Tuesday and Coppin State on Friday as
    they open the season with three games in six days.

    The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. A break
    from the dilly-ding, dilly-dong of the Premier League proved a welcome respite
    for Leicester City after a poor start to their title defence. Claudio Ranieris
    side hit three past Club Brugge on Wednesday night to secure a convincing win on
    the clubs first foray into Champions League football.Set to resume league action
    with a visit to Burnley on Saturday, the Foxes are in need of that confidence
    boost after being anchored back in reality by their start to the domestic
    campaign.Leicester (1-1-2) lost just three times all season on their way to the
    most unexpected of Premier League crowns last term. Theyve already been beaten
    twice during their title defence and are looking every inch like the mid-table
    side their detractors always claimed they were.Unable to satisfactorily replace
    midfield dynamo NGolo Kante, Leicester have struggled to compete in the centre
    of the park -- a failing that was particularly brutally highlighted in last
    weekends 4-1 deconstruction at the hands of Liverpool.However, Marc Albrighton
    -- scorer of the opening goal in picturesque Bruges -- believes that his teams
    European win may be exactly what they need ahead this matchup at King Power.Its
    been nice to enjoy (the Champions League) but its gone now, Albrighton said.
    Well have a meeting about Burnley now and weve got to get our heads switched on
    to them.Well have no problem focusing on that. We know thats our bread and
    butter. We need to concentrate on our league form and get some wins thhere and
    thats where it matters.dddddddddddd Hopefully we can pick something up at the
    weekend, carry this form into the league and do a good job there.Riyad Mahrez
    looked back to his old self against Brugge, scoring a brace that included a
    sublime free kick. His manager believes a change of scenery may have been needed
    to kick-start the playmakers season.The Champions League music woke him up,
    Ranieri said. Maybe he is tired of hearing dilly-ding dilly-dong all the
    time.Now we have to stay calm and put our mind to the next match on Saturday.A
    win over Liverpool aside, Burnley (1-1-2) have faltered on their return to the
    top-flight. Manager Sean Dyche believes that the stuttering start was inevitable
    with his players having to adapt to the demands of the top-tier. He feels that
    the reputation of his team will change as the campaign progresses.People pigeon
    hole you, the same as with Leicester, Dyche said. But there is more to their
    game than getting the ball forward quickly -- they can play. The counter-counter
    sounds easy, but they ripped up the Premier League with that last year.We have
    to find different ways to win games now too.The Clarets will be aided in their
    attempt to win by the likely absence of Danny Simpson, Jeffrey Sclupp and
    Nampalys Mendy from the Leicester squad. Burnleys only injury worry is over
    squad player Ashley Barnes. China NFL
