Coach Lane Kiffin walked into a tough situation at USC with the Trojans now entering their second and final year of probation which prevents them from making a bowl game appearance. Despite that obstacle, the Trojans went 8-5 last season and would have gone to a nice bowl game if they had been eligible. The Trojans continued to attract huge crowds to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum last year, which just shows how strong the fan support is for this team. Since L.A. does not have an NFL team, the Trojans are the next best thing and it’s no problem for them to draw close to 90,000 fans for a game. If you want to be among them, now is the time to buy your USC Trojans football tickets.

This year’s USC Trojans schedule begins with three straight home games at the Coliseum against the Minnesota Gophers, Utah Utes and Syracuse Orange. That should be a good test of the talent on the USC Trojans roster as they will be facing a team from the Big Ten, the newest member of the Pac-12 and a solid team from the Big East. The biggest game on the mid-season schedule is an October 22 showdown against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South Bend, and the regular season concludes with a home game against the UCLA Bruins. The Trojans also have a road game against the Oregon Ducks and the Cal Bears at AT&T Park in San Francisco if you want to take a little road trip to support the team. Pick out the games you want to see and order your USC football tickets now.

You have to give a lot of credit to USC quarterback Matt Barkley, who has stuck with the USC program despite the sanctions. He’s a junior this season, and while it’s possible he’ll head to the NFL early, it seems like a better bet that he’ll work hard to get this team ready for a national championship run in his senior season. If you want to see them lay the groundwork for return to prominence, get your USC tickets today.
