USC quarterback Miller Moss, left, hands off to running back Quinten Joyner during the second half of the Trojans’ win over Louisiana State on Sept. 1. The Trojans take on Utah State in their home opener on Saturday night.Miller Moss and No. 13 USC look to build off the Trojans’ win over LSU by beating Utah State at the Coliseum on Saturday at 8 p.m. PDT .Ryan Kartje, The Times’ USC beat reporter, notes Eric Gentry is in line for a bigger role with Mason Cobb out due to injury.
The Trojans’ new defensive coordinator had earned a few moments of calm before the chaos of a new college football season, his most critical yet as a coach.

The retired Mater Dei coach knew better than most what led to that moment. He’d watched Hudson work and work and work during their time together at Mater Dei, arriving early, leaving late, spending hours grinding film or drilling the same details over and over again until it was muscle memory. Never once did he drag or pout or complain.
