SALT LAKE CITY — Utah laid a beatdown on USC this last Saturday; the latest of a three-game outbreak where Utah has been punishing teams. You would think this would mean Utah is potentially a very special team, but some Trojans players think otherwise.

Utah recently adopted a new slogan for its program after an outburst from frustrated USC players following a 41-28 loss to the Utes. USC running back Stephen Carr told media: “We’re better (than they are).”

Linebacker Jordan Iosefa addedd: “We just messed up. … They were just a regular team.”

The Utes took those comments and ran with it by tweeting out #JustARegularTeam. The MUSS then joined in on the fun.

With the rivalry heating up, it appears that Utah has gotten the better of USC on and off the field this year.
