Trojans Fall to Utah, 41-28
October 20, 2018 | Football, Features
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Utah QB Tyler Huntley threw for 341 yards and four touchdowns on 22-of-29 passing to lead Utah to a 41-28 victory over USC on Saturday night.
Huntley matched a career-high in passing yards to help the Utes beat the Trojans for the third straight time at home. Zack Moss added 136 yards on 25 carries. Utah (5-2, 3-2 Pac-12) has won three straight overall and moved into a first-place tie with USC in the Pac-12 South.
JT Daniels was 6-of-16 passing for 89 yards and a score with two interceptions for USC. Matt Fink, who played the entire fourth quarter in place of the freshman, finished with 43 yards and a touchdown on 6-of-7 passing.
The Trojans (4-3, 3-2 Pac-12) generated just 205 total yards and averaged 3.8 yards per play. Utah tallied 541 yards while averaging 6.7 yards per play.
USC sprinted to a 14-0 lead behind a pair of big plays.
Michael Pittman Jr.'s 34-yard catch provided the first touchdown. Daniels narrowly eluded a sack and heaved the ball toward the goal line. It slipped through the hands of Utah safety Marquiese Blair and Pittman corralled the ball in the end zone.
Then, the Trojans made it a two-touchdown lead when John Houston forced a fumble and Jay Tufele scooped up the ball and rumbled 48 yards for the score.
Britain Covey stopped the bleeding for the Utes. He returned the kickoff 38 yards and followed up by taking a screen pass 46 yards to narrow USC's lead to 14-7.
Utah took its first lead on a 3-yard run from Huntley and put the Trojans away after he threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Solomon Enis and an 11-yard strike to Demari Simpkins to extend the Utes' lead to 34-14 in the third quarter.
The Trojans tried to make things interesting late in the game. After Fink replaced Daniels quarterback, Fink threw a 3-yard touchdown to Tyler Petite to cut the deficit to 13 points early in the fourth quarter. Utah then countered with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Huntley to Jake Jackson.Â
USC got its last points of the game when Vavae Malepeai rushed for his seventh touchdown of the season off a 12-yard run.
