Preview: The unbeaten Utes' Pac-12 opener against the embattled USC

SALT LAKE CITY — USC may be off to a rough start (1-2), but on paper, they're still one of the country's best teams. Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said as much at his press conference earlier this week.

"They're a very talented team, probably the most talented 1-2 team in the country," Whittingham said. "They're very dangerous, have a lot of weapons, are physical and fast. We've got to be at our best."

USC comes in amid heavy speculation about the mental state of their team, as multiple reports have come out about in-fighting and even player-coach altercations.
