ASU Football Opponent Primer: USC Trojans
Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports USC’s 2019 Season
After USC sophomore quarterback J.T. Daniels got injured, freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis stepped in and led the Trojans to an 8-5 season (7-2 in the Pac-12).
One of the highlights for USC was defeating No. 10 Utah at home while unranked. However, they fell 49-24 in the Holiday Bowl against No. 16 Iowa.
Head coach Clay Helton is heading into his fourth season with the team and has a lot to prove. The Trojans defeated the Sun Devils in Tempe, 31-26, last season in Joey Yellen’s lone start while Jayden Daniels was out due to injury.
Key Returners
As stated earlier, Slovis took over at quarterback for Daniels last season and made a name for himself.
