Utah, a 3.5-point favorite, will send USC home on Saturday with its first loss of the season.
The USC Trojans are unbeaten. They have a Heisman Trophy candidate in quarterback Caleb Williams. So obviously, the Trojans are underdogs of more than a field goal to Utah on Saturday.
While that line may seem out of whack to the casual bettor — and based on all the public money coming in on USC, that’s the case — Utah is in a great spot at home to give the Trojans their first loss. USC has played two road games this season, beating lowly Stanford by 13 and barely getting by Oregon State, 17-14. The Trojans needed to convert on fourth down late in that one to stay undefeated. The 17 points against Oregon State are by far the fewest USC has scored this season, and Williams struggled against the Beavers’ athletic defense, completing just 16 of 36 passes for 180 yards.
