Trojans – Cardinals game facts
– This will be the first-ever matchup between USC and Louisville.

Caleb Williams has opted out of this game and, while he has not officially announced his intentions, he is headed off to the 2024 NFL Draft. USC will also be without No. 3 quarterback Malachi Nelson, who entered the transfer portal. The Trojans’ backup quarterback in this one will be Jake Jensen.
