Game Analysis
Utah (+2.5) 33 Southern Cal 32
USC has been helped this season by a ridiculous +22 in turnover margin. Caleb Williams throwing only 3 interceptions is not that random but having lost just 1 of 9 fumbles versus 7 of 11 lost by their opponents is lucky – as is the 19 interceptions by a defense that projects to have just 11.7 interceptions based on their passes defended. A worse than average defense (6.1 yppl allowed to teams that would average 5.8 yppl against an average defensive team) that’s allowing 64.5% completions should not have 19 interceptions and Utah’s Cam Rising has thrown just 12 interceptions on 650 pass attempts the last two seasons and didn’t throw a pick in the Utes’ 43-42 win over USC in week 7.
I do project a 0.3 edge in turnovers for USC but Utah has an overall edge from the line of scrimmage and the math picks this game dead even.
