USC hosts Fresno State on Friday for second game of season

USC returns to the Coliseum on Friday to face Fresno State in its second game of the college football season. The Trojans look to build on momentum following a season-opening victory against San Jose State. Projections for the matchup highlight several players, including freshman wide receiver Trent Mosley and quarterback Jayden Maiava, as focal points for the offense. Running back Waymond Jordan is expected to contribute to the scoring after missing the end zone in the previous outing. The USC defense, directed by Gary Patterson, aims to record its first turnover of the year after failing to force any against San Jose State. Attendance figures remain a point of interest for the program, with forecasts anticipating a crowd of approximately 60,000 fans as temperatures at the venue cool compared to the team's home opener.
