The USC Trojans have beaten the Utah Utes 3 times in a row. They’ll look to make it 4 when they head to Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt lake City to take on the #19 ranked Utes. USC will be up against it with a hostile Utah home crowd and one of the nation’s best pass rushes.

#14 Arizona State (-3.5, 62) at Washington 10:45 PM ESPN

The #14 ranked Arizona State Sun Devils have had quite a ride as of late. The Sun Devils have consecutive wins over USC and Stanford, and will look to avoid a letdown when they travel to Seattle to take on the Washington Huskies, who are 1-2 in conference play.
