Two days removed from USC Football’s 28-27 win over Utah, it’s still hard to get a handle on how to feel about the performance.
The game appealed to both the pessimists and optimists in the fanbase and around college football.
Pessimists got plenty of fodder to linger on over the coming week as the Trojans’ sloppy first half spotted Utah a sizable lead.
The Utes were 13-point underdogs coming into the Coliseum. They lost by a single point, failing to convert a two-point try after successfully scoring a touchdown with under a minute remaining.
USC’s first half performance was so familiar that it can’t be passed off as just a bad outing.
