I have a friend who’s a Michigan grad tell me that Utah was lucky to win and that USC outplayed Utah in every category. I went down the categories and USC 10 more total yards. Utah had more passing yards. USC had about 20 more rushing yards. Time of possession, Utah 37+ minutes to USC’s 22+ minutes. Where USC excelled was 171 return yards to Utah’s 27. Our kickoff returns have sucked all season. Everytime they attempt a return, we typically start no better than the 15. Utah should down every kick off in the endzone and take the start at the 25.
USC Did itself no favors with their hurry up offense. Utah’s domination of possession time left their D gassed.
