WHAT’S AT STAKE?

USC heads into this game fourth in the College Football Playoff rankings, so all the Trojans need to do is win and they're in. It would be the Pac-12 Conference's first team in the postseason field since Washington in 2017. USC will only be a Pac-12 team for another year before leaving for the Big Ten Conference. Utah is going for its second consecutive conference title and Rose Bowl appearance.

KEY MATCHUP

Utah TE Dalton Kincaid vs USC’s secondary. Kincaid returns to his hometown of Las Vegas hoping to duplicate his monster performance from the first meeting. He caught 16 passes for 234 yards and a touchdown as the Utes handed USC its only loss. Kincaid was injured Saturday at Colorado, but is expected to play.
