The Utah Utes earned their fourth straight win over USC, whom they beat in last year's Pac-12 title game, on a walk-off field goal on Saturday.
Right now, the Utah-USC rivalry is all Utes. Utah took down the Trojans in the Pac-12 title game last season, but they weren't done doing business with them just yet. The 14th-seeded Utes won, 34-32, on a field goal as time expired, earning their fourth-straight win over No. 18 USC, this one being on the road.
After a 61-yard punt return, Caleb Williams ran it in for an 11-yard touchdown to give the Trojans a 32-31 lead with 1:46 to go. The two-point conversion failed, so Utah only needed a field goal to win. The Utes got across midfield with roughly a minute to go and converted a 4th and 1 from the USC 41 with under 20 ticks left. A false start pushed them back to the 45 with 16 seconds left, but Bryson Barnes rushed for 26 yards.
Utah moved to 6-1 on the season and 3-1 in conference play, while USC dropped to 6-2 . Utah will host No. 9 Oregon next week, while the Trojans will play California.
