Nebraska vs Northwestern Preview
The undefeated No.7-ranked USC Trojans are headed east on Saturday looking to move to 7-0 on the year against the 4-2 Utah Utes. However, Utah is favored by a field goal, so it won’t be an easy victory for the Trojans.
In his pre-game press conference, USC head coach Lincoln Riley said the crowd in Utah will make for a “fun atmosphere.”
“I mean, it’ll be a fun atmosphere. We need to operate a little bit more clean, that will be important for us. We think we’ll be ready to do that, but obviously it’ll be important to the game. That’s part of playing great road football is there’s different dynamics that you have to handle well, and we need to handle it well this week,” said Riley.
He later added, “I’m proud we’ve won all six games, and not necessarily the record, but what went into that. There will be several 6-0 teams that… there will be some that finish really well, some that finish okay, and some that don’t finish very good. So, it’s great, but it is just a start. It’s not a guarantee to anything, so it’ll be a challenging second half of the season. But like, this is when it gets the most fun. Like, this is what you do it for. You put yourself in great position, now it’s time to go accelerate and be our best.”
In his own pre-game press conference, Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said the loss to UCLA last week was tough, though he said they “got beat by a very good UCLA team” and it’s not going to get any easier with USC.
“S.C. this week; doesn’t get any easier. Good football team. A lot of similarities offensively with us and them as far as production,” said Whittingham. “Very different styles of play, and very different philosophical approach. But we’re both getting within four or five yards of each other total offense, within a point in total points per game. So there’s a lot of common ground there. But they’re far more spread out, four wide receiver sets, than we are. It’s going to be a big challenge. We have them at home in Rice-Eccles, which is a big plus. Our guys really enjoy playing at home and the home crowd gives us a big advantage. We find ourselves in a very similar situation as we did last year. Very similar, and we handled it well last year, and we’ll see if we can handle it well this year. That’s where we’re at.”
The USC vs Utah game kicks off Saturday, October 15 at 8 p.m. Eastern time on FOX.
