USC hosts Fresno State at the Los Angeles Coliseum

USC faces Fresno State in their second college football game of the 2026 season at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The matchup marks the return of Fresno State head coach Entz to the stadium, where he previously served as a USC assistant under Lincoln Riley. While USC holds the advantage of having already played a season opener against San Jose State, Fresno State enters the game without any accessible game film for the Trojans to study. Analysts expect a physical test from the Bulldogs, who are projected to be a significant opponent for USC before the team faces Oregon later this month. This contest serves as a potential indicator of USC's tactical evolution against a power-football approach. Live updates and expert analysis are ongoing as the game progresses throughout Friday night.
