Following 13 losses in the last 26 games, Clay Helton’s program needs a lot of things to go right this year. It makes Thursday’s release of the 2020 USC football schedule a virtual checklist for what he and his players could call a road to redemption. It won’t be easy.
A la 2016, the Trojans start at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex., where they’ll face Nick Saban’s vaunted Alabama dynasty. The Crimson Tide will be USC’s most daunting obstacle of the season, although a trip to Eugene isn’t far behind.
The Trojans will look for revenge against the defending Pac-12 and Rose Bowl champion Oregon Ducks on November 7 at Autzen Stadium.
