Friday the 23rd at 6 PM the University of Southern California (1-2) will be taking on Utah (3-0) to try and turn their season around. USC has decided to start redshirt freshman Sam Darnold to help the Trojan offense take down No. 24 Utah. The USC offense has faced off against some of the toughest defenses in the whole country and Utah will be another rugged defense to over power.
Friday night at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah will be a big game for the PAC-12, especially for the Trojans. Utah has started off with a strong 3-0 start to their season beating Southern Utah, BYU and San Jose State. With the Utes entering this game being ranked for the first time this season they are looking to solidify their ranking. We are seeing a hard-hitting defense out of Utah and that can be problematic for Trojan offense. This Utah defense is among the top ranked defenses in the nation, with 15 sacks the Utes must feel comfortable going into the game.
USC is looking for their offense to get back on top of things and turn this season around. Darnold thus far this season is 14 of 22 for 136 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception. Even though Darnold is something of an unproven quarterback he does have ability to provide the spark to ignite this USC football team to greatness. This USC defense will be giving the Utes offense a run for their money. USC defense has a lot of weapons and they are very dangerous for this Utah offense.
