Have had these priced low on Seatgeek for days and can’t sell them no idea why. Someone hit me up and I’ll sell both to you for $50 total no fees. Can look through my post history we can even FaceTime if you want first or whatever - cancelled my trip to CA this weekend and just want to make my money back!

Anyone have an idea of when these tickets might go on sale? I’m seeing limited options on seat geek/stub hub so I’m not sure if it’s just people selling season tickets they already have access to or if the game is actually close to selling out.

USC has retired the No. 13 jersey of Caleb Williams, who spent two seasons with the program and won the eighth Heisman Trophy in Trojans history.

The school made the announcement on social media, showing Williams' number displayed on the Los Angeles Coliseum peristyle among its other Heisman winners. Reggie Bush's No. 5 also was shown for the first time since his Heisman was reinstated in April.

Bush's retired number had been removed in 2010, shortly after USC was sanctioned by the NCAA because Bush received improper benefits during his college career from 2003 to 2005. Bush's Heisman also had been vacated until this year, when the Heisman Trust reinstated the trophy to the former star running back, citing "enormous changes in the football landscape."

In the past, Bush had been adamant he did not want to have his number displayed at USC games or to be involved with the program if his Heisman Trophy had not been returned to him. There is an expectation now Bush will lead the Trojans out of the tunnel before a game this season, but no official date has been set.

USC's announcement about Williams came on social media with a video that included rapper Snoop Dogg, singer John Legend, Trojans coach Lincoln Riley, USC women's basketball player JuJu Watkins and Williams' teammates congratulating him on the honor.

Legend began the video by singing "Ordinary People," which Williams attempted and failed to sing well during a recent episode of "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears" that featured rookie karaoke sessions. The Bears made the star quarterback the first pick in April and have since named him their Week 1 starter and a team captain.

"You are definitely, definitely better at football than singing," Legend said. "But I want to congratulate you on getting your number retired."

In his two seasons at USC, Williams threw for more than 8,000 yards and accounted for 94 touchdowns in the air and on the ground.

"Home of the Heismans! More Heisman Trophy winners than any other university," athletic director Jen Cohen wrote in a post on X. "Let's go #5 and #13... Can't wait to celebrate you."

Bush remains in a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA seeking to hold it "accountable for maliciously attacking" his character.

Hello Trojans! I’m planning to come out for the game vs Rutgers at the end of October and very excited about seeing a game at the Coliseum! Wondering if anyone has any advice for best sections in the stadium to watch the game, hotels to stay at nearby, other things to do around the area, etc. Totally foreign to LA so appreciate any and all recommendations.

Update 9.6.24:

Good news: Utah St starting QB Spencer Petras may not be starting.
Bad news: Bryson Barnes who is their backup QB and who beat the crap out of us last year when he played for the Utah Utes, might be starting.
Good news: Utah St will be without their top running back Robert Briggs who fractured his left leg in the opening game after rushing nine times for 88 yards.
Bad news: Mason Cobb is unlikely to play this weekend.
Good news: Mason Cobb should be good for Michigan.

Pounds fist on the table We are sitting here AGAIN, we're sitting here again talking about the same things! How USC is the most dominant elite football team in the country that never gives up!

Most importantly, the always faithful u/ckotoyan finally reached the pinnacle of his life by taking first place in a USC Prediction Contest! He chose to donate a portion of the Fight On Funds to an organization that runs a food drive, shelters people displaced from their home after an emergency, hosts Alcoholic Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings, supports the homeless population, and much more! Everyone pound their fist in cheer for u/ckotoyan !!

The upcoming game between the USC Trojans and the Utah State Aggies is scheduled for September 7, 2024, at 8:00 PM Pacific, taking place at the United Airlines Field at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This will be one of those games only shown on the Big Ten Network, so we all get to see what a conference with big bucks looks like on their own channel. Me personally, I like YoutubeTV or Hulu Live sports, both of which I do not pay for and borrow the username and password of parents with big bucks.

Predictions and Odds

Current Odds:

• USC is favored by 28.5 points against Utah State.
• The Over/Under for the game is set at 61 points.

Team Performance Overview

USC Trojans

• USC enters this game with a record of 1-0, having recently defeated LSU 27-20. In that game, quarterback Miller Moss threw for 378 yards and one touchdown, while the team collectively gained 450 yards of offense.
• The Trojans' defense showed improvement, limiting LSU to 304 total yards and 20 points.

Utah State Aggies

• Utah State also holds a 1-0 record after a convincing 36-14 victory over Robert Morris. The Aggies amassed 646 total yards, showcasing a balanced offense with both passing and rushing contributions.
• Key players include quarterback Bryson Barnes, who threw for 198 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 88 yards and a score.

Conclusion

Overall, the predictions favor USC due to their recent performance and the talent gap between the two teams. However, Utah State's strong offensive showing in their opener could lead to a competitive game, particularly if they can capitalize on any lapses in USC's defense.

My Prediction:

This game feels to me like USC's opener in 2017 against Western Michigan. They won 49 to 31 but that score paints a prettier picture than the actual game where USC struggled to stay ahead and pull away from WMU. That was under coach >!Clay Helton!< who shall not be named. I expect a similar outcome on Offense but a better outcome on Defense.

USC 45 to Utah State 17

I can look past mobbing 93mph down crowded streets in Athens but this?

Pearls: clutched.

What sections are we sitting in? Coming to the game from Chicago and getting tickets, want to make sure I’m in SC section!

Travelling solo for this game, any Trojan family want to adopt me. When I watch games Kyron Hudson makes 1 handed catches.

Good win folks! Love to see it.

I really think we have a solid RB room.

Marks wasn't as explosive as I had hoped but he is a great pass blocker and is a patient yet strong runner

And Joyner.....he has the potential to be awesome! That one carry where he broke two tackles (one of them he was completely wrapped up and lifted up) in the backfield and was able to scrap a couple yards was very eye opening for me.

I have a ticket for USC vs Utah State on September 7th. Message me if you're interested.

I’m going to the Utah state game. However it’s at 8pm so I’d rather just bring my own car and park it somewhere safe. I’d like to go around as early as 2, find somewhere to watch the Mizzou game (wife is a Tiger and it’s at 4pm) and then watch the Utah state game live (got season tickets).

Where can I park at 2pm where I can leave it there all day and it would be safe for parking till the SC game is over.

Where can I watch the Mizzou game?

Did anyone else notice this incredible human being on the sideline after the targeting flag? My hero

Joins USC which has had an abysmal defense for years. New conference in B1G. LSU / SEC opponent. Prime time game of the week in Vegas to kick off the college football season with everyone in the country watching.

Holds a strong offense with a ridiculous offensive line (that's ranked 1 in the country by some) to 20 points in his debut game. We neutralized their run game, what that LSU team hangs their hat on. We will not play a better offensive line this year. At least so far, that UCLA turnaround isn't looking like a fluke.

I'm so fucking excited to have a defense. This might be the best defense we've had since 2013. Not to mention, we have a defense with Lincoln Riley as our HC.

That is all

Ja’kobi Lanes face at the 13:25 mark in the 4th as they are about to switch into a commercial break says it all

I was tracking tickets on resale websites and prices were consistently dropping everyday this week, until today when they skyrocketed. I’m still in need of 2 tickets, but don’t mind getting into the stadium after the game started. Do y’all think prices will drop after game time? Ticket prices are kinda insane right now
