What is the Spread on the Utah vs. USC Game Friday Night?

The Utah Utes vs. USC Trojans betting line had the Utes at -3.5.  The home team has won the last six meetings dating back to 2013.  Each team has three victories over that span.  The Trojans have lost all six games outright as an underdog over the past three seasons.

ABOUT UTAH (3-0, 0-0 Pac-12): Senior running back Zack Moss had 106 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries against Idaho State, his 13th career 100-yard game, despite leaving midway through the second quarter, and needs just 196 more yards to break the school career rushing mark (3,219) held by Eddie Johnson (1984-88). Senior quarterback Tyler Huntley is 15-7 as a starter and has completed 42-of-54 passes for 602 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions while also rushing for 99 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. The defense, which leads the Pac-12 and ranks seventh nationally in rushing defense (65.0), is led by a pair of returning first team All-Pac-12 linemen in Bradlee Anae and Leki Fotu and second-team pick in John Penisini and two returning first team All-Pac-12 corners in Jaylon Johnson and Julian Blackmon.

ABOUT USC (2-1, 1-0 Pac-12): Slovis, forced into action when returning starter JT Daniels suffered a season-ending knee injury in a 31-23 victory over Fresno State, was sensational in his first college start two weeks ago, a 45-20 win over Stanford that saw him complete 28-of-33 passes for 377 yards and three touchdowns, but was error-prone at BYU, including being picked off in overtime to end the game. "He's a first-class kid and he listens and learns," Helton said. "What I was proud of him (Sunday), he walked in and said, 'Coach, I know I can play even better.' That's the type of kid he is and the type of team this is. There's no pointing fingers." Slovis has one of the nation's top wide receiving corps to throw to led by Tyler Vaughns (23 catches, 321 yards, one TD), Michael Pittman (21 catches, 205 yards, two TDs) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (14 catches, 139 yards, two TDs) while junior Vince Malepeai leads the rushing attack with 272 yards on 58 carries (4.7 avg.) and four touchdowns.
