Game Preview
The Los Angeles Coliseum will be rocking for this rated matchup involving the 14th-ranked Utah Utes and the 18th-ranked USC Trojans, as the home team is eager to rebound after suffering the first defeat of the campaign in a lackluster fashion at Notre Dame.
Utah and USC last faced off in the Pac-12 Championship Game, where the Utes won for the second consecutive year. This season, USC will finally get a chance to play Utah. Of course, the outcome was debatable because many think USC would have prevailed if Heisman Trophy-winning QB Caleb Williams hadn’t sustained an injury that significantly hindered his performance for three quarters of the match.
The Utah Utes enter this contest fresh off a 34-14 victory against Cal which moved them to 5-1 in the season. While Bryson Barnes possesses 398 throwing yards, a score, and two interceptions, Nate Johnson has passed for 499 yards and three touchdowns on a 54.2% completion rate. Jaylon Glover owns 249 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, while Ja’Quinden Jackson leads the club with 333 rushing yards. With 21 catches for 202 yards, Mikey Matthews is the team’s top receiver for Utah. On defense, Jonah Elliss leads the squad with 9 sacks, Sione Vaki and Cole Bishop both contribute to a team-high 32 total tackles.
The USC Trojans entered this contest aiming to bounce back from their initial defeat of the year after losing to Notre Dame 48-20 in their last encounter, dropping their record to 6-1. While MarShawn Lloyd leads the team with 565 running yards and 5 touchdowns, while Austin Jones possesses 190 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns, Caleb Williams has passed for 2,021 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions on 70% of his attempts. Brenden Rice had 23 catches for 452 yards and 8 touchdowns, while Tahj Washington tops USC in receptions with 25 catches for 497 yards as well as 5 scores.
