The Trojans force five turnovers and shut out the Utes in the second half in a 33-17 victory on the road Saturday night.

Master Teague ran for 169 yards as No. 3 Ohio State beat No. 9 Indiana. Ex-USC quarterback JT Daniels threw four touchdown passes in No. 13 Georgia’s win.That path to an unusual Pac-12 title was supposed to include one of its most challenging obstacles in Utah. Instead, it led to a team that looked the part of someone playing its first game of the season in late November, one that was forced to replace its quarterback, top running back, and nine starters on defense.

Rising was bailed out on that first turnover, as USC’s offense, again slow to start, went three and out. But on Utah’s next offensive snap, fate wouldn’t be so kind, as defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu burst through the line, hit the quarterback, and knocked the ball loose. Defensive end Connor Murphy recovered the ball at the four-yard line, putting USC in perfect position to extend a lead.

This time, however, Vavae Malepeai burst through tacklers on second-and-goal and ended the suspense early.There were other signs of growth. After watching its linebackers steamrolled in the run game over the first two weeks, USC held Utah, last year’s Pac-12 leader in rushing, to 119 yards on the ground. Ralen Goforth and Kana’i Mauga, two linebackers who had especially struggled early on, combined for 23 tackles, doing a lot of that work themselves.
