The fourth-ranked Trojans start fast but fade in a 47-24 loss to the No. 11 Utes, and now where do they go from here?
LAS VEGAS — In one sense, the scene at Allegiant Stadium on Friday night was one USC fans might not have even dreamed of a little more than a year ago. Or to put it another way, they might have dreamed it but it seemed far removed from possibility, the stains of the Clay Helton era having discouraged not only a team but a fan base.
“You ever had a old rubber band? Yeah, it kind of felt like that,” Williams said. “And then the rest of the game I felt it.” So maybe the Trojans will be scouring the transfer portal for more defensive help this offseason. That side of the ball was an issue all season, often obscured by the success of their plethora of offensive weapons.
“Obviously, there’s a much bigger picture and outlook here of the progress that’s been made here in the last 12 months, so we’re not going to walk around like this is some funeral. We’ve made some great progress to be in this moment. We expected to win tonight. We didn’t get it done. But that changes nothing in terms of the direction and trajectory of this program.”
