Kicking off their 2026-27 season at home, the USC Trojans are getting ready to host San Jose State for a Week 0 matchup at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.
The Big Ten has become a vicious conference, and while USC isn't considered one of the top dogs, the program is still solid year-over-year and enters the season ranked 16th in the country. Star quarterback Jayden Maiava's offense will be bolstered by transfer additions Terrell Anderson and Trent Mosley, and new defensive coordinator Gary Patterson is expected to make an immediate impact.
Meanwhile, San Jose State is facing a total overhaul of talent and will be rebuilding for much of this year. While the Spartans are clear underdogs in this matchup, a first-week upset is never completely out of the question. With the right momentum, SJSU could catch USC slacking.
