The No. 13 USC Trojans (2-1) are set to clash with the Wisconsin Badgers (2-1) on Saturday, September 28, 2024, in an exciting showdown between Big Ten rivals at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This matchup promises to deliver intensity and competitive spirit as both teams look to secure a pivotal victory in their early-season campaigns.
The visitors have stumbled out of the gate this season. Although they have secured victories in their opening two contests, neither win was particularly convincing, as they failed to cover the spread against Western Michigan and South Dakota.
Their first major challenge of the season ended in disappointment, suffering a staggering 32-point home defeat to Alabama. While one setback isn’t cause for alarm, the Badgers still boast plenty of talent and have ample opportunity to regroup as they enter conference play.
The hosts entered the Big Ten season on a wave of momentum, having claimed an impressive victory over no. 13 LSU Tigers, followed by a commanding 48-0 shutout against Utah State. The excitement surrounding their inaugural conference matchup was palpable, but they faced a harsh reality check against the defending National Champions.
In a tough battle at Michigan's storied Big House, the Trojans were outplayed, particularly on the ground, resulting in a narrow three-point defeat.
