No. 9 USC aims for defensive improvement vs. Arizona

No. 9 Southern California features the nation's highest-scoring offense but continues to have concerns on defense as it heads into a Saturday night Pac-12 game against Arizona in Los Angeles.

The Trojans (5-0, 3-0 Pac-12) are coming off back-to-back weeks in which they let two big underdogs stick around to make things interesting in fourth quarter. USC needed a fourth-quarter touchdown to finally subdue Arizona State 42-28 on Sept. 23 in Tempe, Ariz., and held on last Saturday to win at Colorado 48-41 after holding a 27-point, third-quarter lead.

A leaky defense -- ranked 98th nationally in yards allowed (404.4 per game) -- is the reason USC has slid from a high of No. 5 in the Associated Press poll despite not losing a game.
