USC enters its matchup against Arizona State on Saturday riding a 19-game winning streak at the Coliseum. The Trojans’ last loss at home came Oct. 8, 2015, against Washington.
That source of pride for the upperclassmen could be jeopardy, as the Trojans work to recover from a rough loss at Utah last week.
“I think it’s more about, every time we step in there, how we represent the tradition of that place,” Helton said of the expectation of playing at home.
Helton wanted to emphasize the importance of the final 48 hours before facing the Sun Devils — to ensure that the Trojans are prepared in the final days before the game.
