SALT LAKE CITY – Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid made two big plays to start the third quarter to tie the game up against USC at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Cam Rising threw a nice ball to Dalton Kincaid, who was able to get one foot inbounds with a defender draped over him. The play was ruled an incomplete pass before the officials reviewed the play and overturned the call to a complete pass. Then Utah ran the “Philly Special” as Devaughn Vele threw a nine-yard pass to Rising. The drive ended with a four-yard touchdown connection between Rising and Kincaid. The game was tied at 28 with 12:02 remaining in the third quarter.
It’s the second touchdown pass by Rising in the game and the 15th this season. Kincaid was up to eight receptions for 119 yards and one touchdown. He caught his sixth touchdown of the season.

About Utah/USC
Utah hasn’t quite lived up to the preseason hype in 2022 with two losses under their belt at the halfway point. This isn’t to say the Utes have been bad, because they haven’t. Losses are a part of the game, but they also haven’t yet shown that “extra gear” most thought they would have based on how they finished the 2021 season and who was returning. Could USC provide the type of statement game the Utes need to get back on track?
The No. 7 Trojans will be rolling into Rice-Eccles Saturday night at 6 p.m. MT undefeated and looking to keep that streak intact for the 2022 season. USC also most likely hasn’t forgotten the beatdown Utah put on them a year before in the Coliseum. On the other hand, the Utes also haven’t forgotten it or the events that led to the epic performance. In fact, in a way, they will be recreating that mood by celebrating the life and legacies of Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe during the game with their annual hand-painted helmets. Basically, this game is going to be huge and emotional for both sides for different reasons.
A player to watch in the game is USC wide receiver, Jordan Addison. The 2021 Biletnikoff winner is responsible for 32 catches so far this season for 479 yards and six touchdowns. Addison has been averaging about 15-yards per play and will present a fun challenge for Utah cornerback Clark Phillips III.
