No. 7 USC at No. 20 Utah tops the week in Pac-12 football

By The Associated Press
No. 7 Southern California faces one of its biggest tests of the season this weekend at No. 20 Utah. Lincoln Riley is the first USC coach to start his first season 6-0 since 1951, but the Utes have won 11 straight home games and have one of the Pac-12’s best defenses. Washington State also plays at Oregon State, while Stanford and Colorado look to end long losing streaks. The Cardinal have lost 11 straight games against FBS opponents heading into their game against Notre Dame and the Buffaloes have lost six straight as they get set to host California.
