This game isn't a gimme for USC, which is reeling from a 52-6 thumping by top-ranked Alabama. It's a must-win for first-year coach Clay Helton, with Stanford and Utah next on the schedule. Utah State won't roll over. In 2013, four games into Matt Well's tenure as coach, the Big Blue lost to the Trojans, 17-14, at the Coliseum.
