    USC looks to measure up against Colorado in Pac-12 South contest
    Primetime matchups spelled trouble for USC in September.
    The Trojans were outscored at Stanford and Texas by a combined margin of 54-17, losses that thrust their offensive issues into clear focus. Against the Cardinal, they failed to score a touchdown, and quarterback JT Daniels was sacked four times. A week later against the Longhorns, they rushed for minus-5 yards, their lowest total in a game in nearly 20 years.

Left-hander Julio Urias will take his place despite having pitched just four innings in the majors since major shoulder surgery in June 2017.
