USC quarterback Cody Kessler, plagued by interceptions in USC's previous three games, recaptured his efficiency Saturday in the Trojans' 42-24 victory over third-ranked Utah at the Coliseum.
Kessler completed 21 of 28 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown, without an interception.
Kessler rebounded after having five passes intercepted in the previous three games.
He was sacked four times and hit often while operating behind a reshuffled offensive line, but he escaped several potential negative plays and turned them into gains.
Kessler has passed for 18 touchdowns this season, with five interceptions.
Sophomore receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught eight passes for 143 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
