Three things the USC defense needs to execute against Arizona.

The USC Trojans head to Tucson, Arizona for their first Pac-12 matchup on Saturday. Here are the keys to containing a Wildcat team who is hungry for a home win.

USC led all of college football in sacks last year with 46.0. This year, they are tied for 58th with 8.0, and Porter Gustin has 4.5 of those sacks. The rest of the defensive line must step up and force pressure on the quarterback. This would cause more bad decisions by the opposing team and lead to turnovers.
