What you need to know about USC
USC notched a dominating 37-14 win against Colorado last week. The victory came about even with USC handicapping themselves with 125 penalty yards. USC QB Kedon Slovis was sharp, throwing for 276 yards and three touchdowns in his best performance of the 2021 campaign.
USC has yet to notch back-to-back wins in 2021, and they have been upset twice at home by inferior Pac-12 opponents (Oregon State and Stanford). The Trojans will be facing a Utah team this week that was off last weekend.
What you need to know about Utah
This will be Utah’s first game since the tragic death of safety Aaron Lowe, so motivation will be high to go into Los Angeles and win in his honor. The Utes beat the Washington State Cougars 24-13 in their last game.
Quarterback Cameron Rising has provided a shot of life to the Utah offense since replacing Charlie Brewer in the Utes’ loss to San Diego State. If the Utes can avoid costly mistakes and get consistent pressure on Slovis, they will be more than capable of making this game interesting.
