1. #7 USC Trojans (6–0, 4-0)
Last Game: USC 30 – WSU 14
Once USC’s offense got going, Wazzu didn’t have much of an answer. The Dynamic Duo of Caleb Williams and Travis Dye overpowered Washington State.
While USC’s offense is the main attraction, their defense put on a show. They had 9 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, and 3 QB Hurries.
Of those 5 sacks, Tuli Tuipulotu had 3, and Nick Figueroa picked up the other 2.
This Week at Utah, 5:00 PM – FOX
The Trojans have another midday game on national television. They play the defending conference champs, who will be in desperation mode after losing at the Rose Bowl last week.
A wounded animal is dangerous. USC will need to bring their A-game to Salt Lake City to win this one.
It’s another big week in the Pac-12. Check back with us next Tuesday for our updated power rankings.
