USC has won seven of the nine all-time meetings but the teams are trending in opposite directions.
After a tough loss to Notre Dame in Coach Clay Helton's 2015 debut two days ago, USC Trojans (3-3, 1-2) welcome the biggest surprise in college football this season, #3 Utah Utes (6-0, 3-0). Utah is coming off of a 34-18 victory over Arizona State in which they trailed entering the fourth quarter before outscoring the Sun Devils 20-0 to move to 6-0 on the season. Meanwhile, the Trojans fell to Notre Dame 41-31 on Saturday and are now on a two-game losing streak.
