It is the opening game of the season for USC, and they will host Missouri State as the Bears are making their official debut as an FBS school.
For coach Lincoln Riley, it is a chance to start his fourth year in charge of the Trojans on an especially high note. With expectations varying widely depending on who is asked, most would agree that USC can and realistically should beat Missouri State by multiple touchdowns.
Either way, the start of the season excites everyone, and Trojan fans everywhere will look forward to watching the Cardinal and Gold take the field in 2025 for the first time.
