USC football will not play in a bowl game for 2020 after losing the Pac-12
USC football’s 2020 is now officially over.
The Trojans have decided not to accept a bit to a bowl game.
“The football program has experienced a rise in COVID-19 cases among its players and staff recently, including positive cases this past week,” USC said in a statement. “Due to a variety of factors, including injuries stemming from playing three games in 13 days, the number of available Trojan scholarship players is nearing the Pac-12’s recommended 53-player threshold needed to play a game.
