USC hosts Louisiana at the Coliseum for a non-conference football matchup
Summary

USC prepares to host Louisiana at the Coliseum this Saturday night for their upcoming non-conference football game. The Trojans return to the field following two weeks of play where the team demonstrated varied defensive performance by allowing 26 points in their opener before keeping their opponent scoreless in their most recent outing. Projections for the matchup include a first career touchdown for tight end Mark Bowman and an initial career sack for defensive lineman Luke Wafle. Backup quarterback Jonas Williams is expected to see significant playing time by the third quarter with the potential to record his first career touchdown pass. Additionally, the team is anticipated to attempt their first field goal of the season. The game provides another opportunity for several freshman players to contribute to the roster's recent string of on-field milestones.
