The USC Trojans (6-1, 4-0 Pac-12) host the Utah Utes (5-1, 2-1) Saturday in a top-20 matchup. Kickoff from Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is set for 8 p.m. ET (FOX).
SportsbookWire.com’s Alex White points out the Trojans have “double-revenge” on their minds after losing to the Utes twice last season. USC lost 43-42 as a 3.5-point road underdog during the regular season and 47-24 as a 2.5-point favorite in the Pac-12 title game, played in Las Vegas.
The Utes — No. 14 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports — are known for their defense. They rank 5th in points allowed (12.2 per game) and 9th in yards allowed (277.8) this season.
The 16th-ranked Trojans are known for their offense. They’re 2nd in points (47.3) — only behind Oregon (48.5) — and 9th in total yards (491.7).
