3 Bold Predictions for Utah vs USC Pac-12 Clash

Now that Zack Moss, Tyler Huntley and Utah are the favorites in the Pac-12, they will get their first chance to prove it in front of a national audience when they face Kedon Slovis and a USC team coming off a loss to BYU.

3. The Utah Defense Registers 5+ Sacks

Bradlee Anae and Leki Fotu are as nasty a pair of defensive lineman as you could ever hope to see in the Pac-12. Against a Trojans team that struggled with BYU's exotic looks on defense, these two should be licking their chops to get in Slovis' face and rattle the freshman quarterback.

2. Kedon Slovis Completes 80 Percent of His Passes

Air Raid offenses will always lend themselves to a high completion percentage, but Graham Harrell's gameplan for Slovis has been to get the ball out of his hands quickly, and he has responded with a 77 percent completion percentage. Expect more of the same dinking and dunking against the Utes.

1. Utah Wins by Two Touchdowns

Kyle Whittingham's teams are never flashy, high-octane, or overly talked about, but they always get the job done. If Moss can get off to another hot start and Huntley plays some more mistake-free football, the Utes should overwhelm the freshman Slovis and pick up a win.
