Utah is 2-1 in the Pac-12 south after knocking off the Oregon State Beavers in double overtime last week by the score of 29-23 and will be shooting for the sweep of the Los Angeles area schools after beating the UCLA Bruins earlier this month with a game-winning field goal late in the fourth quarter.

The Utes were led by running back Devontae Booker last week when he ran for 229 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner. Booker’s is second in the conference to USC’s Javorius “Buck” Allen in rushing yards per game.

But he could find running room tough to come by against a Utah rush defense that ranks second in the conference at 114.2 yards per game, has allowed three rushing touchdowns and ranks sixth nationally by limiting teams to a 2.8 yards per carry average.

While Utah has a strong rush defense you can’t overlook their pass rush led by Nate Orchard who is second in the nation with 10.5 sacks to give the Utes 33 sacks on the year, the most in the nation.

Most Pac-12 games are high-scoring affairs, but this could be a defensive battle, especially if the combination of Travis Wilson and Kendal Thompson can’t inject some life into the Utah passing attack.

In any event, this will be your one-stop source for all of the live scoring updates and video highlights for the game between USC and Utah.
