Beating USC like a ‘video game’ experience for Utah

SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Southern California is the embodiment of success. It's got the glitz, glamour and storied pedigree of winning in college football.

Children dream of playing for the Trojans, believing that USC is the pinnacle of college football in the West. The program recruits the best; it gets the best. To be recruited by the Trojans is one of the biggest honors for most high school athletes, particularly those living in the Southern California area. Those not recruited by the Trojans look to prove coaches wrong.

Although much of USC’s success has been in the past, the program still brings with it an aura of success — a benchmark to measure against — when playing opposing teams.
