UNDATED (AP) — The most compelling matchup in the Pac-12 this week may be the rivalry game between USC and UCLA because of the drama that surrounds it. The Trojans were officially eliminated from contention for the Pac-12 title game with last weekend's loss to Cal at the Coliseum. The loss amped up the talk that Clay Helton's days at USC may be over. On the other sideline is Chip Kelly, who hasn't fared as well as some Bruins boosters would have liked in his first season as head coach.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The play of defensive linemen Brandon Pili, Jay Tufele, Marlon Tuipulotu and Jacob Lichtenstein has been a bright spot for USC this season. The four have combined for 12 1/2 tackles for loss and 6 1/2 sacks, with the second-year players looking like the difference-makers the Trojans have lacked up front for nearly a decade. Occupying blockers and creating penetration will be keys when USC faces UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Saturday.
