* LONG BEACH STATE (7-5) at UTAH (7-6), 6, KPLS (830)--Teams that figured to have better starts meet in Salt Lake City. The outmanned 49ers couldn’t stay with USC in a 22-point loss Saturday. Utah started the season ranked 12th but has struggled without Coach Rick Majerus. Majerus, 52, had missed most of the season because of a knee injury, then underwent a heart procedure Tuesday to open two blocked arteries. He had expected to coach tonight’s game.
