With fans in attendance for the first time in more than a year, the USC football team took the field, and Team Cardinal came out on top 27-7 over Team Gold.
Returning starter Kedon Slovis, who threw for 1,921 yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions in six games to earn an All-Pac-12 first-team selection last year, was out to fight for his job in front of a stellar freshman class of signal-callers in Miller Moss and Jaxson Dart as well as senior Mo Hasan, who was also on the field Saturday.
He didn't get off to a strong start, as Dorian Hewett picked him off when he tried to launch the ball facing a 3rd-and-long on the opening drive.
