What Time Is Louisiana vs. USC and What Channel?
11 p.m. ET on Big Ten Network, 8 p.m. in Los Angeles. It is the latest mainland kickoff on the Week 2 schedule.
A Tune-Up Before the Big Ten Grind
USC quarterback Jayden Maiava is 11th in the country in QBR through Week 1 and the Trojans rank 13th nationally in offensive success rate. Louisiana, 1-0 out of the Sun Belt, has a defense rated outside the top 100 by SP+, which is why the line sits above 30 and the total above 60.
The interest here is in how USC handles a game it is supposed to dominate, and in the Coliseum’s late window for East Coast viewers who stayed up after Ohio State and Texas.
The Bottom Line
11 p.m. ET Saturday on Big Ten Network. USC should win big; the score is the only question.
