Marquee matchup

USC run defense vs. Phillip Lindsay: Lindsay is Colorado’s workhorse. He averages 26.5 carries per game and, earlier this season, received 41 carries and ran for 281 yards and three touchdowns against Arizona. “Lindsay just jumps out all over the tape,” USC coach Clay Helton said. Lindsay has rushed for 1,334 yards this season. A week ago, USC’s run defense held Arizona’s explosive quarterback, Khalil Tate, to his worst game of the season, though Tate still managed 161 rushing yards.
