USC football will have to navigate a morning start, but excitement overrides everything.

The 2020 USC football schedule was announced on Saturday morning with a slightly unexpected twist: Trojan fans will have to wake up early again on Nov. 7 to watch the season opener.

USC is slated to play Arizona State to start the campaign with kickoff at 9:00 a.m.

If you’re a morning person and can’t understand why that’s a bit of a worry, FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff laid it out. Urban Meyer posited the players will be getting a wake-up call at 4:30 a.
