USC (1-2) vs. No. 24 Utah (3-0), at Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City. TV: FS1, 6 p.m.
Most intriguing story line: USC’s schedule has been brutal, and its record is indicative. Clay Helton has a record of 1-4 since becoming full-time head coach, his lone win against Utah State. If Helton and USC are to make a stand, this is the game. They have a track record: last season, after losing three of four and firing Steve Sarkisian, USC played No. 3 Utah and won convincingly, 42-24.
