Three Keys to the Utah-USC Game

Utah (3-0, 0-0 Pac-12) and USC (1-2, 0-1 Pac-12) square off tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. MT at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah. It will be the first matchup between Pac-12 teams in 2016. Last season Utah and USC finished tied atop the Pac-12 South standings at the end of the season with identical 6-3 records in conference, so USC's 42-24 win over the Utes in L.A. proved to be the tiebreaker that sent the Trojans to the Pac-12 Championship Game over the Utes. USC is already in a 0-1 hole in Pac-12 play after falling to Stanford 27-10 last Saturday while the Utes open Pac-12 play after starting 3-0 in nonconference games.
