USC struggles with attendance at home opener against SJSU

USC Trojans began their 2026 season against San Jose State Spartans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, but attendance was sparse. Observers on social media criticized the turnout, estimating very few fans at the venue. Additionally, temperatures soared into the low 90s, contributing to the lack of enthusiasm. Some fans speculated that injury precautions for key players Tanook Hines and Terrell Anderson further dampened excitement. The situation prompted widespread discussion about potential reasons for the disappointing crowd as the game unfolds.
