USC stuffed Troy Williams’ two-point conversion attempt with 42 seconds remaining to complete a 14-point comeback.
The Trojans trailed 21-7 at halftime before scoring on drives of 98, 88 and 93 yards in the second half. Ronald Jones gave USC a 28-21 lead with an 11-yard touchdown with 4:54 remaining.
After being shut out for the second half, Utah rallied on the final drive as Williams, a former star at Narbonne High, led the Utes into the end zone on a one-yard run, but couldn’t score again on a rush for the conversion.
