Following a 42-26 season-opening win over the San Jose Spartans, the No. 14 USC Trojans will host the Fresno State Bulldogs on Friday night at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. After a season opener that left Trojan fans with mixed emotions, USC looks to make a statement against the Bulldogs as former assistant and linebackers coach Matt Entz returns to the Coliseum. One thing some will be watching is whether attendance at the Coliseum on Friday night is better against the Bulldogs. The Trojans took a lot of backlash for low attendance at the Coliseum for the season opener against the Spartans, especially with tickets as low as $9.Aug 29, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Southern California Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley reacts against the San Jose State Spartans in the first half at United Airlines Field at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
