Utah travels to the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles and the Colosseum on Saturday to take on the USC Trojans. Today we'll take a look at their defense, which has had an up an down season through six games.
The defense is coached by Justin Wilcox, who came to USC with former head coach Steve Sarkisian from Washington last season. Wilcox runs a 3-4 scheme and led the defense to a fifth place ranking in total defense a year ago. The Trojans currently rank seventh in conference in total defense this season, and the general perception is USC's defense should be better, especially against the run, given the talent on the roster.
