Los Angeles • It took nearly two full quarters, but USC finally got more points on the board.
Utah quarterback Bryson Barnes, right, celebrates with teammates offensive lineman Kolinu'u Faaiu, left, running back Jaylon Glover, second from left, and tight end Landen King during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Southern California Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, in Los Angeles.The Trojans kicked a 44-yard field goal on the final play of the third quarter to cut Utah’s lead to 28-17.
Utah’s running game began to exploit the middle if the Trojans’ defense, first on an 11-yard keeper by quarterback Bryson Barnes to move the chains, then on a gigantic 26-yard rush by Ja’Quinden Jackson up to the 15.He took a short pass from Barnes while running right, engaged the hand brake to shake his defender, reversed field to the left, and outran everyone else to the end zone.Utah’s offense is once again asserting itself.
And finally, Bryson Barnes bought some time on second and goal by rolling out away from the coverage, then finding tight end Landen King coming free in the end zone toward the right sideline.As has been the case for Utah vs. USC lately, the defense struggled mightily early, then settled in as the game went along.
Ja’Quinden Jackson ran through the Trojans’ defense for a big gain. Then quarterback Bryson Barnes took a shotgun snap, waited patiently for a hole to open, and went untouched up the middle for the tying score.The defense followed up by getting its first stop of the game, holding Caleb Williams to a 1-yard gain on a third-and-2 keeper. USC will punt on the first play of the second quarter.It was figured that Utah’s defense might give USC’s big-play offense some trouble.
