The Utah Utes owned part of the national spotlight for many years, but slipped out from under the lights with some down years. The program is back on the upswing, and their 10-2 start has them feeling pretty good about themselves, especially with wins at BYU, and another vs. Wichita State. The Utes are 8-0 at home, and when they have a strong team, as they do now, they are menacing at home and utilize the altitude to take advantage of opponents that are not so good. USC fits the not so good billing as the Trojans are 8-4, but have lost to Army, Portland State, Akron, and Penn State - not very becoming of what is expected from a PAC-12 team. The Utes are back to dominating at home where they are 37-14-1 ATS in their last 52, while the Trojans are just 7-16-1 ATS in their last 24 in conference play, and have been a step or two behind. All Utah in this one.
