USC at Stanford

USC will put its top-10 ranking on the line in the first road game of the Lincoln Riley era. The Trojans are coming off a dominant 66-14 win against Rice, which opened the 2022 season and stopped a four-game losing streak for USC.

Stanford got its warm-up in for the 2022 season, beating Colgate 41-10 at home last weekend.

Catch up on the week of WeAreSC content ahead of USC’s trip to Stanford, starting with how to watch the game on Saturday and a travel guide if you are making the trip to Palo Alto.

The Trojans got back on the practice field on Tuesday and Wednesday, and WeAreSC was there to provide practice reports.

Stanford presents a much stiffer challenge than Rice did in the season-opener. Read up on what the Cardinal bring to the field this year in our opponent preview.
