USC Football News: Trojans Among Pac-12 Powerhouse Teams With Easiest Schedule
The upcoming college football season marks a significant moment for the USC Trojans as they prepare to bid farewell to the Pac-12 conference and join the prestigious Big 10. This transition brings excitement and anticipation, making this year crucial for the Trojans. Fortunately, when examining their schedule for 2023, it appears the organizers have been favorable to USC's prospects.
247 Sports columnist Raymond Lucas Jr. meticulously analyzed the schedule and ranked USC eighth in terms of strength among Pac-12 teams.
Plenty of conversation regarding USC was centered on the bye week right before the Pac-12 Championship Game, which drew groans from opposing fans. But the biggest story is that the Trojans have a schedule that's nothing sort of challenging and concludes the regular season by hosting Washington and traveling to Oregon for a battle with crosstown rival UCLA. Following a mid-September bye week, USC travels to Arizona State and Colorado before hosting Arizona and hitting the road again to face Notre Dame. As if that isn't enough, USC faces Utah in a conference championship game rematch.
Their season commences in late August, pitting them against the San Jose State Spartans. While a potential challenge awaits in mid-October, with a challenging away game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South Bend, the Trojans aim to handle their previous opponents with proficiency.
As USC embarks on their campaign, they aspire to seize the opportunity presented by their schedule and etch their names in the annals of history. Bolstered by a talented and well-rounded team, they will endeavor to leave an indelible mark before departing for the Big 10 conference.
