Despite a fourth-quarter rally by Caleb Williams and USC, Utah marched to a 34-32 win on Cole Becker's 38-yard field goal to beat the Trojans yet again.
It couldn’t possibly be happening again, could it? Not after last season. Not after last week. Saturday night was supposed to be USC’s best shot for catharsis after two devastating defeats a season ago, its best chance to land a return punch on Utah, the team that punched the Trojans out of the Pac-12 title game and the College Football Playoff semifinals, the only Pac-12 team that had ever bested coach Lincoln Riley.
Even still, so many chances to right wrongs had been squandered, all the way up until the last 16 seconds. It was then — on the 40-yard line, just outside of field-goal range — that the Utes seized hold of their fate while USC seemed to be asleep. It had taken plenty of mistakes to reach that point, starting with an ill-timed roughing the passer penalty from defensive lineman Bear Alexander that extinguished the drive. The final scramble, on second-and-15, only drive in the dagger.
