After USC cut the lead to 14-10, Utah marched back down the field thanks to some big connections between Jon Hays and his wide receivers. Hays found Kenneth Scott again for 12 yards, then connected with DeVonte Christopher for 27 yards and an 18-yard touchdown to give the Utes an 11-point lead.

Back came USC, as Matt Barkley found Robert Woods for 41 yards. Woods had just recovered from this hit.

After Utah fumbled the ball on its next offensive possession, Silas Redd set up a Barkley-to-Woods connection for a go-ahead score.

It didn't get much better on the next drive. A second botched snap by Holmes led to a Utah fumble recovery. The Utes then struck immediately with a Jon Hays fade to Kenneth Scott for an 1- yard touchdown to make it 14-0 Utah.

The Trojans finally got back on the board with a big drive. Barkley had three big connections with Marqise Lee, and Silas Redd eventually punched it in to cut the lead to 14-7.
