Utah enjoyed a nice a run near the top of the national polls, but a 42-24 loss at USC proved it never truly belonged there.
That's not to say the Utes aren't good. They are. They're very good. They earned their No. 3 ranking. They just always had a stinker like Saturday's in them.
Quarterback Travis Wilson threw four interceptions in the loss, continuing a trend of recklessness that's plagued his entire career. As good as he can look on his best days, he's still the guy who threw six interceptions against UCLA two years ago.
At some point, he was bound to turn into a pumpkin.
