Utah pulled off a 43-42 stunner, beating 7 USC after an extraordinary start to the season for the Trojans.
What was supposed to officially herald USC’s return to the elite echelons of college football turned into a nightmare for Lincoln Riley in loss to Utah.To that moment, he had done his damnedest. Williams completed 25 of 42 passes for 381 yards and five touchdowns in one of the most dynamic performances of his college career.
Utah quarterback Cameron Rising looks for a receiver. His one-yard touchdown run with 48 seconds left and his ensuing two-point conversion run lifted the Utes to victory. He found Michael Jackson on a screen pass in the face of an all-out blitz. Jackson scampered 20 yards for a go-ahead score, leaving Utah with more than four minutes left to make its final statement.As the clock wound down, Trojans coach Lincoln Riley chose to let it run, crossing his fingers that his defense could make a decisive stop. But the decision backfired.
Any concern over a clunky start had disappeared by USC’s next drive, as the Trojans’ quarterback stood comfortably in the pocket, side-stepping rushers and firing passes all over the field. In a dizzying array of decoys, motions and play fakes, USC’s offense came to life, led by its quarterback and a coach determined to dig deep into his bag of tricks.
