We’re going through the various angles and plot points connected to the big game between USC and Utah on Saturday night in Week 7 of the 2022 college football season.
We asked Utah expert Matt Nigbur of the No Truck Stops Pac-12 podcast how he thinks Utah will attack USC’s defense.
Nigbur offered this answer:
“The best part of USC’s defense has been their ability to limit explosive plays. The worst part of Utah’s offense is explosive plays. The problem for USC: that is how Utah wants to play. I expect Utah to drive down the field seven yards at a time with the old reliable 60-40 run-pass split. Heavy doses of Tavion Thomas with some challenging passes over the middle to Dalton Kincaid will be like a warm blanket for the Utah offense. USC will need to follow the same game plan that UCLA did – create just enough havoc plays to get Utah off schedule. Remember that a stuffed run on first down might be just as good as a sack for the USC defense this week.”
