Comparing Utah’s 2023 football schedule to USC

Can Utah three-peat? The #Pac12 gave the Utes a few really rough schedule elements, similar to USC. A Friday night game at Oregon State is very Larry Scott-ish.

The 2023 Pac-12 football schedule was released on Wednesday morning on the Pac-12 Network.

It will be the final year with USC and UCLA in the conference before the LA schools make the move to the Big Ten.

The Utah Utes are the back-to-back Pac-12 champions, and their schedule has some notable difficulties shared by USC and not shared by Oregon.

Can Utah three-peat in the Pac-12 with Cam Rising returning for one more year at quarterback?

Here is a look at the dates and opponents for Utah in 2023, including a trip to Southern California to face USC in a Pac-12 title game rematch on October 21, one week before they host the Oregon Ducks. That’s part of the profoundly rough road the Utes have:

Utah Football Schedule Analysis: It’s an interesting schedule, but it’s manageable as long as the Utes don’t biff one of their winnable non-conference games. BYU and San Diego State are both going to be strong, and both games are on the road, but those have to be must-wins for a team good enough to think about winning the Pac-12 title.

There’s the huge plus of getting a week off before playing USC, but that’s on the road. Making things a wee bit worse is a run of three road games in four weeks, all before having to play Oregon. That means Utah plays six road games in nine dates before dealing with the Ducks.

On the positive side. there’s no Washington to deal with from the North, and the last two games are in Salt Lake City.
