Utah vs USC Preview
This game is a rematch of one of the best games of the regular season. Utah handed USC their lone loss of the season back on October 15 in a 43-42 thriller.
Quarterback Cam Rising ran in a one-yard touchdown and converted the two-point conversion to put the Utes ahead with just 48 seconds to play. Since that game, USC has won five in a row, while Utah has gone 4-1 with the lone loss at Oregon two weeks ago.
This game figures to be another high-scoring affair as the two teams combined for over 1,100 yards of offense in the first meeting. When you look back at the numbers from the first game to two teams were remarkably close in every category.
The one significant advantage that Utah held in the first meeting was penalties, as the Utes committed just five penalties for 42 yards, while USC had 12 penalties for 93 yards. Since that game though the Trojans have been better about penalties and haven’t committed more than eight in a game.
This game again looks like it will be determined by one of two things, either whoever has the ball last like the first meeting, or which defense can get just enough stops. Defensive stops were at a premium in the first meeting as there were only seven combined stops.
In the first meeting Rising put up slightly better numbers than Caleb Williams with 475 yards of total offense and five total touchdowns. Williams for his part had 438 yards of total offense and five passing touchdowns.
The Trojans’ offense has continued to run like a well-oiled machine and Rising might need more help this time around. Another thing to watch is that the Trojans won’t have running back Travis Dye this time around as he’s out for the season after suffering a leg injury.
Dye rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown in the first meeting. However, Austin Jones has been phenomenal for USC in the last two games rushing for 274 yards and two touchdowns.
The game is expected to be close again as Vegas has only made USC a slight favorite at -2.5. The total number is sitting at 68 so they could be expecting a lower-scoring game than the first meeting.
