Given the high preseason expectations, USC emerges as perhaps the most underwhelming team nationwide. Initially, many anticipated the Trojans' likelihood of clinching the Pac-12 title over their chances of missing the NCAA tournament. However, USC's conference record stands at 3-10 this season, with a dismal 1-8 performance in their last nine matchups. Tonight marks their sole encounter with Utah this season, presenting an opportune moment for USC to rebound. Despite their concerning track record, USC holds a favorable history against Utah, having triumphed in their last five encounters.
Contrary to their promising 11-2 start, the Utes have struggled to maintain consistency, securing back-to-back victories only once since then. Their recent record of 1-4 includes losses to various teams, including Washington State, Washington, Arizona, and Arizona State. Particularly weak on the road with a 1-5 record, the Utes excel at home with a 12-2 tally, although their performance against the spread stands at a mediocre 11-13 this year. Notably, their susceptibility to scoring droughts may play into USC's hands tonight.
Despite the overwhelming support for Utah, evidenced by over 80% of tickets and money wagered, USC remains poised for a potential upset. With a fearless mindset and nothing to lose, the Trojans possess a lethal edge. Anticipate a stronger display from USC on home turf, likely securing their sixth consecutive victory against the Utes. Notably, the Utes have failed to cover the spread in their last six games overall.
