Utah looks to make it two in a row against USC for the first time since 1915-16

Here are five things to keep an eye on when Utah travels to USC this weekend.

  1. Kessler-Smith-Schuster connection: Heading into Week 6, USC wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had been Cody Kessler’s best friend. When targeting Smith-Schuster, Kessler was completing 84.4 percent of his throws with six touchdowns and no interceptions. However, in the past two games (both losses), Kessler is hitting 61.1 percent of his passes with two interceptions and no touchdowns when targeting him. Kessler started the year with 15 touchdowns to one interception, but has been picked off four times in the last two games.
