Conference play hit full steam with this slate of league games, which produced plenty of heroes:
Troy Williams, QB, Utah: The Utes have been a team that's best built to play with a lead; their aerial attack typically hasn't been prolific in the recent past. But when USC took a 24-10 lead over Utah in the third quarter Friday night, Kyle Whittingham's club was forced to exit its comfort zone.
Utah had to throw its way back into the football game, and Williams responded to this pressure by delivering darts. The new starter led a clutch, 93-yard touchdown drive to push Utah to a 31-27 victory.
