LOS ANGELES — As the 2 teams flowed disconnected the tract and into the halftime locker room, the lone cheers emanating from the Coliseum stands came from the southeast corner, wherever the Utah contingent was stationed. The USC fans were stunned silent.
They had conscionable watched the Utes, facing fourth-and-one from the USC 37 with 17 seconds near earlier the extremity of the half, tally a flea flicker connected a Trojan defence selling retired hard to halt a tally up the middle. Quarterback Cam Rising caught the lateral and recovered Devaughn Vele slipping past the USC secondary, hitting him successful stride for a touchdown.
It enactment USC down 11 going into the locker room. A 43-yard touchdown tally by Utah backmost Tavion Thomas connected the opening thrust of the 2nd fractional made it 18, and by that clip it was wide determination was nary combat near successful this USC team.
The Trojans (3-3, 2-3 successful Pac-12) mislaid to Utah 42-26. It was the Trojans’ archetypal location nonaccomplishment to the Utes since 1916, 7 years anterior to the opening of the LA Memorial Coliseum. With its 3rd consecutive location loss, the Trojans dropped to 1-3 astatine the Coliseum this season.
And possibly the worst portion of it for USC, successful this mislaid season, is the effect wasn’t adjacent surprising, nor the ways the crippled devolved to that point.
The lifeless show astatine location was a rerun of the Stanford and Oregon State games, arsenic was the mode USC gave up a backbreaking people to extremity the 2nd quarter.

And determination were lapses by the secondary, with cornerback Chris Steele getting burned connected an retired way successful the extremity portion that allowed Money Parks a non-contested touchdown catch. Entering the game, Utah averaged 200.8 passing yards per game, but gained 306 yards done the aerial Saturday to spell with 178 connected the ground.
Also acquainted was the mistakes the Trojans made erstwhile they were pressing to marque a comeback aft Utah’s 28-0 run.
Early, USC tried to bushed Utah with small cuts, throwing repeated screens and moving the shot with Keaontay Ingram and Darwin Barlow. But that attack had to beryllium abandoned arsenic the Utes began to propulsion away.
Down 3 scores aboriginal successful the 3rd quarter, the Trojans were forced to spell for it connected fourth-and-eight from the Utah 35. Quarterback Kedon Slovis’ effort up the mediate was intercepted and returned to the Utah 45, lone for receiver Drake London to get flagged for a precocious deed and Utah an other 15 yards.
It took Utah 4 plays to thrust the remaining 40 yards, with Rising breaking 1 tackle and twisting retired of different for a 17-yard touchdown run.
Even the 1 item of the crippled for USC was of nary surprise, arsenic London continued his prolific play with 16 catches, 162 yards and a touchdown successful which helium hurdled implicit a tackler and into the extremity zone.
But that did small to soften the blows USC took connected Saturday, which included the nonaccomplishment of choky extremity Michael Trigg, who near the sidelines connected a cart with a towel draped implicit his caput aft taking a helmet to the knee. Cornerback Chris Steele was aboriginal carted disconnected the field, too.
