USC 17-14 over Utah Pac-12

The strange  and wacky world of Pac 12 football began on Saturday  in Los Angeles. The Utes
led by Kyle Whittingham in his 7th year with a 59-20 record and  probation poster Child  Lane Kiffin who never saw a contract he did not break Tennesee 9-5 met in the 1st Pac12  meeting ever  after running well between the 20,s for  mot of the 1st half but multiple red zone  turnovers caused  USC to stumble to a 10-0 first Hald Lead. Matt Barkley the 3rd year starter was 20-35 -263 1-1  was bailed out on the offensive side of the ball by Mark Tyler son of Wendell former UCLA RB after the TMZ Paid for play suspension was lifted with 24-113 mostly in the first half. The former USC now Utah OC Norm Chow needs to remind  his team that in the Pac-12 the need to run the  ball better as the Pac 12 season continues . Ute QB Jordan Wynn was 23-46-238 1-0 mostly in the 2nd half Rushing totals for Utah 25-82-3.3 average. Hey Norm this is not the  Mountain West or the Big10 where 3.3 yds rushing is acceptable. Utah had a chance to win driving from there own 33 to the USC 24 after an officials review on a a questionable spot of the ball and the help of a pass interference penalty  a 41 Yd game tying FG was blocked by Matt Kalil ot preserve the win. USC goes to 2-0 1-0 Utah falls to 1-1 0-1. The Pac-12  commissioner Larry Scott emphasized his rejection of Pac 12 Expansion for at least 1 year previously covered this week on this very blog  So for now 12 is enough for this West Coast and now  now geographical mountain members  of this Power conference. Unfourtunately for Utah and Norm Chow  USC presented a mountain too large to climb.
