Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire comments on USC attendance numbers
Summary

Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire addressed local media on Aug. 31 regarding his expectations for fan turnout at home games. While discussing the upcoming matchup against Abilene Christian on Sept. 5 in Lubbock, Texas, McGuire noted that the program expects a capacity crowd of 60,000 despite potential high temperatures. He contrasted this with the turnout at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium for the USC Week 0 game against San Jose State, which was held in front of a sparse crowd. USC defeated San Jose State 42-26 on Aug. 29 in a game the school attributed low attendance to both humidity and game timing. USC stated it anticipates higher attendance for future home contests this season as part of a premier schedule.
