USC's defensive struggles are well documented. The Trojans are hoping they took a step forward Friday night in their 55-17 win over Colorado.

USC gave up just 259 yards of offense and Caleb Williams accounted for five touchdowns as the Trojans improved to 9-1 on the season.

Starting running back Travis Dye went down with a knee injury in the second quarter and did not return. Dye was taken off on a cart and the injury appeared to be serious.
