The No. 11 USC Trojans have a football scheduling update.

USC will host the Wisconsin Badgers in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at 12:30 p.m. PT. on Saturday, September 28th. It will air live on CBS.

The matchup vs. Wisconsin features the "homecoming" of coach Alex Grinch and linebacker Tackett Curtis, as both Badgers transferring from the Trojans before this season.

USC is fresh off a last-minute loss to the Michigan Wolverines on the road in Ann Arbor. The sold out crowd of 110,00 fans got a show as Michigan gutted out a 27-24 victory with an amazingly low 32 passing yards.

"There was a real battle out there, tremendous atmosphere, two good teams going at it," USC coach Lincoln Riley said. "We're obviously very disappointed, but know this season there's a lot left in it, long ways to go. I like the team I got in that locker room. There was a bunch of fighters in that room, a bunch of guys are gonna get better quickly. And I look forward to getting back and getting to our prep for Wisconsin."

Trojans quarterback Miller Moss took the blame for the defeat. The defending National Champion Wolverines pressed Moss on nearly every drop back early in the game, and it was hard for him to get in a rhythm. He was hit ten times and was sacked four times.

He finished throwing 28 for 51 with 283 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.

"Defense played their ass off," Moss said. "We didn't help them out in the first half...we gotta be better, especially me."

Most recently, the Badgers suffered a brutal defeat to No. 4 Alabama. To add insult to injury, Wisconsin starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke left the game with an early injury. Van Dyke’s knee injury occurred during the Badgers’ first offensive drive of the game.

“I don’t think it looks real good for us, for him,” Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell said about the senior quarterback’s status.

Backup quarterback Braedyn Locke went 13 of 26 for 125 yards and a touchdown in Van Dyke’s absence. It's very possible the Trojans will face Locke on September 28th. The Badgers are currently unranked and are enjoying their bye this weekend before traveling to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to face the Trojans.

The 2024 Wolverines have struggled at the start of the season. The Wolverines suffered an ugly loss to No. 1 Texas Longhorns. Most recently, Michigan only beat Arkansas State by 10 points in a game that raised major questions.

Moss has credited Riley for his early success as the two look to earn their first Big Ten conference win.

"I think I've been put in really good situations,” said Moss. “Lincoln Riley's the best offensive coach in college football, if not coach. But, we'll leave that up for debate a little bit more. I’ve been out in really good situations and I think it’s my job to keep operating the offense, to keep making the next right decision.”
