They followed with a 48-0 shutout of Utah State as 31-point home favorites — the Under (64) hit in this one, too. The RB duo of Woody Marks and Quinten Joyner combined for 187 yards and 3 TDs vs. Utah State. The Trojans will look to keep the momentum going on this trip to Ann Arbor — their 1st Big Ten game since joining the conference.
