USC's game against Arizona gives the Trojans a chance to try some different things, but Donte Williams knows they can't underestimate the Wildcats.
Penn State coach James Franklin rockets to the top of any coaching candidate list, but his link to a Vanderbilt rape case may raise questions at USC.Scoring that invite would be next-to-impossible without a win over Arizona on Saturday. The Trojans are 21-point favorites, a mark they won’t come anywhere near reaching the rest of this season. In its last four games, Arizona has been outscored in the fourth quarter 48-0. USC, this season, has outscored opponents 88-13 in the final quarter.
Had Harrell opted for that strategy sooner, it might’ve been a different game against Notre Dame. But this week, it seemed to register among USC’s staff that further emphasizing the run might be the best method for stabilizing the Trojans’ season.Donte Williams was on board with that approach, noting Sunday that USC was “at our best when we do that.” Running backs coach Mike Jinks added that it was “something that’s been discussed.
The more trips it has taken to the red zone, the worse USC’s offense seems to look this season. While the Trojans have come up completely empty only twice on trips inside the 20, the conversion rate doesn’t tell the whole story. The run game especially could stand to improve in the red zone, where USC has averaged a measly 1.78 yards per carry. Not that the passing game has been much better, as Kedon Slovis has completed just 48% of his passes inside the 20.Arizona lost its top two quarterbacks to season-ending injuries in consecutive weeks, leaving just one healthy passer on scholarship. But while freshman Will Plummer may be the guy by default, he might not be the only one to play quarterback for Arizona on Saturday.
