USC head coach Clay Helton once again joined Trojans live, the weekly USC radio show. He discussed feeling sick at halftime against Utah because of the three turnovers to start the game. He was also hopeful because the team had just played their best game of the season and showed improvement.
Helton was asked about punting on 4th and 3 at the end of the game. Coach Helton said he trusted his defense with his life and want to force the Utah offense to drive the ball 93 yards down the field. Curiously he was quick to emphasize that if he were down by 3 points in that situation that he would obviously decide to go for it.
