The nationally televised football game is scheduled for 6 p.m.

For people attending the game, USC officials noted that since the game is being held on a school day, on-campus tailgating and parking will be prohibited. According to the university, other tailgating options will be available, including a Trojan Athletic Fund Pre-Game Party at the Coliseum, a tailgate at the Galen Center, free Student Tailgate in Exposition Park, Julie’s Bar at the Sports Arena and the Ralphs Ultimate Tailgate Experience.
