Here's what USC offensive coordinator Tee Martin told me about the turnover issues this season: "They have been different, uncharacteristic fumbles and things like that. Sometimes it's been tipped balls, sometimes it's been a decision, sometimes it's been a throw. There's not one thing you can say this is the reason why." USC has three fumbles in the first half against Utah and trails 21-7 despite 262 yards.

Utah had four plays of 25-plus yards in the first half against USC, which is the most it has had in a game this season.
