In a chaotic college football world, USC embraces the tradition of the UCLA rivalry. The teams play for the 95th time today.
With CFP pressures and ranked opponents behind them, the Trojans can lean into dominating one of the sport’s most unique rivalries when they host the Bruins on Saturday

UCLA (3-8 overall, 3-5 Big Ten) at No. 19 USC (8-3, 6-2), Saturday, 4:30 p.m. PT, Coliseum, TV/radio:NBC (Ch. 4)/710 AM
Line: USC by 21.5
Haley Sawyer (OC Register) — A group of roughly 30 USC students who are members of the Trojan Knights sat below a cardinal-and-gold canopy tent in the heart of campus. Tommy Trojan is to the right of them, coated in layers of duct tape.
Across the way, Traveler wears a matching outfit. The dull silver, which has been funded by USC, shields them from potential vandalism from UCLA students, and the Trojan Knights’ watchful eyes are ready to deter any Bruin antics.
“We’ve been doing this for 82 years now,” Calder Swiderski said of the Trojan Knights’ 24/7 security. “When you’re here, and we’re all just chatting, hanging out, it doesn’t set in. But when I wake up for the day, I’m remembering I’m part of this organization that’s historic, that’s been on this campus. This organization’s over 100 years old.”
With the chance of making the College Football Playoff gone and all regular-season ranked opponents behind them, the Trojans can lean into the traditional side of college football that sometimes struggles to co-exist with the evolution of the sport.
USC (8-3 overall, 6-2 Big Ten) can complete an undefeated season at home if it beats crosstown rival UCLA (3-8, 3-5), and improve its overall dominance in the rivalry. The 17th-ranked Trojans have won 19 of the last 26 rivalry games though the teams are 2-2 the last four years.
No two college football rivals are geographically closer to each other than the Trojans and the Bruins – there are only 11 miles between the two schools. And it’s the greatest uniform matchup in college football.
“College football’s gone through a huge transition and in some ways, still kind of going through it,” USC head coach Lincoln Riley told reporters on a Friday morning Zoom call.
“Some of those (traditions) have been preserved across the country. Some of those have not, and we’re fortunate that this rivalry – with us both being here in town, with us both being in the Big Ten Conference, being conference opponents and not just rivals – has a chance to continue.”
Riley added that he continuously educates his teams on the history and significance of the Battle for L.A., not just during rivalry week, but throughout the season.
It’s helpful context as college football rosters continue to morph due to the transfer portal. Born-and-raised Southern California kids, however, come ready for the rivalry.
“My whole childhood, it was always such a big game,” said offensive lineman Kaylon Miller (#60, brother King #30), who is from Calabasas.
“And so the fact that I get to like be there, and a part of it for the second time in my career, and this time getting a chance to play up in it – it’s so important to me that I put in every single effort that I can to make sure that we go out there and dominate this week.”
When UCLA has the ball
Quarterback Nico Iamaleava has led the Bruins through the ups and downs of an eventful season in his first year with the program. He’s the best passer as well as the best runner on the team – completing 181 of 285 passes (63.5%) for 1,728 yards and 12 touchdowns with seven interceptions while running for another 490 net yards and four touchdowns on 101 attempts.
As of Friday, it was still a possibility Iamaleava would not play on Saturday, though he was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday. According to interim head coach Tim Skipper, he remains day-to-day with neck spasms after leaving last weekend’s Washington game early due to a helmet-to-helmet hit.
But according to one person with knowledge of the situation not authorized to discuss it publicly because of the sensitivity of health matters, Iamaleava is expected to play against USC.
Backup quarterback Luke Duncan will take the field if Iamaleava isn’t healthy enough to play. Duncan has played in three games this season, completing 21 of 34 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns.
The Bruins are expected to have tight end Hudson Habermehl back after he was cleared out of concussion protocol. But tight end Jack Pedersen (high ankle), wide receiver Rico Flores Jr. (calf) and running back Jaivian Thomas (unspecified injury) are considered doubtful. Cornerback Rodrick Pleasant will not play after undergoing surgery this week to repair a shoulder injury.
Jalen Berger is the second-leading rusher at 207 yards and two touchdowns on 74 carries. Sierra Canyon product Kwazi Gilmer has been UCLA’s most productive receiver with 40 catches for 310 yards and three touchdowns,
A big question for USC’s defense is at safety. Bishop Fitzgerald and Kamari Ramsey both suffered injuries two weeks ago against Iowa that kept them out of the Oregon game.
Christian Pierce and Kennedy Urlacher started against the Ducks and held their own. Going against a weaker offense in UCLA should give the junior/sophomore duo a chance to shine.
When USC has the ball
The Trojans have made explosive plays on offense thanks to talented receivers Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane all season, but true freshman Tanook Hines has also been working his way into the mix as a big-time playmaker and had a season-best 141 receiving yards against Oregon last week.
Quarterback Jayden Maiava matched a career-high in interceptions in his last outing at Oregon but is still spearheading an offense that is best in the conference at 301 passing yards per game, and 479.2 yards of total offense per game.
Riley confirmed to reporters in a Zoom call on Friday morning that offensive linemen Elijah Paige had a season-ending surgery and will not play in Saturday’s game. Center Kilian O’Connor will also be out for the rest of the year, Riley said, and will be having a procedure in the near future. USC has fielded seven different starting offensive lines this season due to injuries.
The USC offensive line needs a bounceback game against UCLA after it was held in check by a very good Oregon defense last week. The Trojans rushed for just 52 yards on 28 carries and neither King Miller nor Bryan Jackson had carries longer than six yards.
Running back Waymond Jordan has been listed as “questionable” on the pregame availability report for the last two weeks and has been seen on the sidelines during games celebrating with teammates without visible signs of lower-body limitations.
UCLA’s defense has struggled this season and is giving up 386.9 yards of offense per game. Knowing that the Trojans have the potential to overpower the Bruins very quickly, the coaching staff could choose to give playing time to a variety of players.

LR made some bold comments in the UCLA post game press conference. He made it sound like this win over UCLA and this season were the launching of the rocket that was headed for the planet ‘football greatness’. If that is true, we should win the Alamo bowl easily. If they lose, then I would say that this rocket blew up in midflight like the Challenger. I do think that they improved this year but the beginning of greatness……that’s a stretch.
I still remember the Challenger blowing up 73 seconds after liftoff as I was watching it live on Jan. 28, 1986. Definitely one of the worst things I have ever seen.
RB Bjack, WR DJ Jordan, CB Braylon Conley going to portal. With all the guys coming in I am sure PT is going to be minimal for these guys again. Good luck.
Add Edge Gus Cordova to the portal
DJ Jordan doesn’t bother me. We have receivers coming up in the 26 class and Lane might come back. I heard a lot of good things about him but he never showed it on the field. BJack doesn’t bother me either. We have a lot of good RB’s. Braylon Conley is somewhat of a loss. I’m not sure why he left. He got a lot of playing time as a true freshman. Maybe he’s afraid of all the competition that is coming in with the 26 class. But Gus Cordova was a loss in my opinion. I really think that… Read more »
All true. USC = weak LBs. Gentry regressed. Not nearly physical enough. Maybe with his concussion history, he shouldn’t even be playing. I’m just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I wouldn’t draft the guy.
SC improved this year. It’s been said that liars figure but figures don’t lie. Look at the stats. Defensively, SC was 47th in the nation in total defense. They were 42nd in passing defense. They were 75th in rushing defense and 46th in scoring defense.Those stats aren’t good enough to win an NC considering that they only played a couple of really good offensive teams. They played mostly defensive teams this year. They are borderline to even get them into the playoffs. If you check out the teams who eventually make the playoffs this year, I’ll bet everyone of them… Read more »
SC definitely improved this year. Especially in the 2nd half of the year. In the second half of those last 6 games(12 quarters), the defense gave up only 33 points(not counting the 100 yard KR by Price of ND). And 27 of those points came from ND and Oregon. If you just count the last 5 games, they gave up only 20 points in the 2nd half(10 quarters). That’s an improvement. In 2024, the D petered out in the 2nd half of the game. In 2025, they got stronger in the 2nd half of the game. The offense improved too.… Read more »
Having said that, I thought that the comments that he made in the post game press conference was a lot of hyperbole. He made it sound like this game was a big turning point. It sounded like he was saying that they would have great teams in the future and they would all look back to this game and season as it was the launching point to greatness. The California game of the 2002 season was the launching point of the great Pete Carroll teams. After the 2002 season everyone knew that greatness was coming to the USC football program.… Read more »
to be or not to be …with Coach Lynn in 2026…that is the question. or put another way, in order to make the playoffs, does SC need a better D coach? or should I say “a better first half coach for the defense?”.
One thing I have learned in life, never say never. You are really down on Riley, so be it, not all of us are. We have him for a while longer I am sure. This was the 7th O line lineup in 12 games, with one guy a walk on. We have young guys everywhere on the field who are going to be much better next year.
So we should fire Riley now, at 9-3, and bring in who? And as for upsets, you must have already forgotten A&M and LSU from last year. I don’t know if Lincoln is the right coach for USC, and to be honest, neither do you. Next season, brutal schedule and all, will be telling.Perhaps in 2027 we have a new coach, but now is not the time to make a change, especially when you consider the NIL war chest finally getting right, GM Bowden, and the recruiting class coming in.
This is the most profound post and should be ON the front page.
Good coaches are NOT easy to find especially in the environment.
Everyone should read this post.
Should have been in the playoffs. Is playing ND necessary in such a
brutal conference? With one more win would have been in the playoffs.
Riley and Lynn are good coaches but younger and learning fast.
How long has Lynn been a DC?
Don’t be like before fire Kiffin and Sark to go to Helton.
Learn from history.
PN4SC, This is the most sane post I have read on this board for some time. Where SC is in year 4 of LR versus where it should be is totally irrelevant. The issue is (1) who is better and (2) how much money is going to cost to replace him, and (3) will it benefit or set back the program in replacing him (and none of us have enough information or expertise to make that decision). I will put it another way: the SC AD and GM are world class. Let them make the call. I personally think removing… Read more »
USC is up by 17 after they score….2 td’s and a field goal. The extra point puts them up 18 and for practical purposes up 3 td’s.
Riley goes for 2…..why…..ego…..no other reason. If the 2 point play does not work and UCLA gets lucky it opens the door to bad things.
This guy is no coach…he is the definition of narcism.
If SC missed the extra point, they are still up by 17, which means 3 SCORES! I guess math is something you can’t grasp. 29-10 Trojans win, beat the hated bruins.If you aren’t happy now, them go root for the losers from Westwood
Well….I can’t root for the Bruins but I guess you’re right. I’ve already cut my posting down a lot. I guess it’s time to just let it go more, like Rock, so folks like you can enjoy wins over teams like UCLA. Bet you really ate up beating up on Georgia Southern. Riley is not going anywhere and 9-3 is a good record for most folks. Including you. The few on the board that want a NC is shrinking as the decades go by without a national program. If he leaves I’ll reconsider……but this program is going no where with… Read more »
I had no problem with the decision to go for two, either in terms of analytics or as a barometer of Riley’s smarts.
There were two and a half minutes to go in the game. UCLA hadn’t scored in almost two hours, and Beban and Altenburg weren’t coming out of the tunnel for an encore. If the conversion failed, SC would still be up three scores with 150 seconds to go. That’s enough for me.
Why? Because we didn’t beat the spread? ucla stinks, but it is a rivalry game, and we were missing a lot of key players. You can’t appreciate two walkons starting on offense? 22-0 in the 2nd half? Great 2nd half, and I feel great
I am the same way, they won going away with the game totally under USC control. With all the guys out, the two stars not playing the first quarter, and ucla having a decent running Qb they ended up doing good. Its like this builds for next season with so many young players coming back.
So if you are a Sooner fan, headed to the playoffs, you should still feel mad, because you only beat a bad LSU team by 4, and didn’t cover, right? Or Bama barely scraping by Auburn. We just beat our biggest rival by 19, without at least 7 starters, and two walk ons in the offensive lineup.If you are still upset, you might be beyond help.
I can’t understand why our defense can’t learn how to get off the blocks and make a play. Once they’re engaged with somebody, they just tussle with them and don’t look for the ball.
Get ready for one of Riley’s trick plays…..oops…..do not get any ready this week because he thought all they had to do was show up against this horrible team.
Maybe that is part of the problem. Riley thinks he can call the right play or two; then the offense turns on like a light switch. Riley thinks he is a wizard—but he is our “wizard.”
Playing to the level
of the opponent. And a pathetic opponent too. Two missed FGs after being kept out of the end zone. It just makes you sick watching it.
He is probably gone. I would transfer if I was him. He would be wasting another year at USC, because Maiava isn’t going pro. He is not good enough yet.
No two college football rivals are geographically closer to each other than the Trojans and the Bruins – there are only 11 miles between the two schools. And it’s the greatest uniform matchup in college football.

They should get another LB coach. Gentry definitely didn’t play up to his ability. They need to make some changes on the special teams coaching staff.
All true. USC = weak LBs. Gentry regressed. Not nearly physical enough. Maybe with his concussion history, he shouldn’t even be playing. I’m just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I wouldn’t draft the guy.
I know LR doesn’t like to make changes in his coaching staff but some changes need to be made. I wonder if Cohen and Bowden will get involved.
The pros will put Gentry in the hospital if he plays linebacker.
SC improved this year. It’s been said that liars figure but figures don’t lie. Look at the stats. Defensively, SC was 47th in the nation in total defense. They were 42nd in passing defense.

1st half against UCLA, a total disaster.
2nd half, fantastic.
Sooner or later, USC needs to learn how to put together an entire game. Maybe next season we’ll make that leap under LR in year five.
But some changes on the defensive staff and special teams still need to be made. What are the chances?
We need to make that leap next year because next years schedule will be much tougher than this year.
to be or not to be …with Coach Lynn in 2026…that is the question. or put another way, in order to make the playoffs, does SC need a better D coach? or should I say “a better first half coach for the defense?”.
Anytime we beat UCLA it is a good day!
Riley will never win a NC. He can’t beat teams decicely they should and will never win an upset
One thing I have learned in life, never say never. You are really down on Riley, so be it, not all of us are. We have him for a while longer I am sure. This was the 7th O line lineup in 12 games, with one guy a walk on. We have young guys everywhere on the field who are going to be much better next year.
Too bad, will set USC back the longer he is here.
exactly
I disagree with you, but we can agree to disagree. If I am wrong I will admit it.
So we should fire Riley now, at 9-3, and bring in who? And as for upsets, you must have already forgotten A&M and LSU from last year.

LR wanted to beat the spread.
Despite all the gold, the man still has no Trojan soul.
USC is up by 17 after they score….2 td’s and a field goal. The extra point puts them up 18 and for practical purposes up 3 td’s.

He let the 3rd string Qb, a senior have one play, whats wrong with that? Its ucla, rub it in if you can.
I had no problem with the decision to go for two, either in terms of analytics or as a barometer of Riley’s smarts.
There were two and a half minutes to go in the game. UCLA hadn’t scored in almost two hours, and Beban and Altenburg weren’t coming out of the tunnel for an encore. If the conversion failed, SC would still be up three scores with 150 seconds to go. That’s enough for me.
Riley and Lynn suck! If you can’t beat this Ruin team by 30 is telling. Riley will have to go at some point.
My Ucla jinx bet almost didn’t work and then I guess it did.
A win is a win. But there is no way to feel good about this game.
Why? Because we didn’t beat the spread? ucla stinks, but it is a rivalry game, and we were missing a lot of key players. You can’t appreciate two walkons starting on offense? 22-0 in the 2nd half? Great 2nd half, and I feel great

There’s ALWAYS a way to feel good about beating UCLA.
And I always feel good when UCLA has a 9-loss season (twice in the last 8 seasons).
Too little too late. USC should have won by 30.
You sound like you did a bet on USC with the odds.
Yeah. UCLA lost by 30+ 3 of the last 4. USC should have won going away if not for coaching.
Awe, non of it was because of bad execution?😁
So if you are a Sooner fan, headed to the playoffs, you should still feel mad, because you only beat a bad LSU team by 4, and didn’t cover, right? Or Bama barely scraping by Auburn. We just beat our biggest rival by 19, without at least 7 starters, and two walk ons in the offensive lineup.If you are still upset, you might be beyond help.
Now that’s what I call finishing with style.
King is King
Held my breath so long on that 4th down dang near passed out.
It’s about damn time for a sack
I will never understand why our 2nd half Defense can’t show up like the do in the first half
I can’t understand why our defense can’t learn how to get off the blocks and make a play. Once they’re engaged with somebody, they just tussle with them and don’t look for the ball.
Now we can’t run the ball.
Defense needs the turn over now.
Excellent play for TD and time to call it for TD
Best play of the game so far is the TV coverage of the band playing the Star Spangled Banner
lucked out on the interception with two bruin penalties.
1-ruin Lineman pushes two Trojan linemen into Maiva to close out the 1st half. Way to go Trojans.
Better defense that series after the first play. And a great PR by Makai!
SC got the MO!!
Gentry isn’t auditioning for the NFL with his lackadaisical playing.
They are going to bypass him with this kind of play.
Did Gentry suit up?
Kam #1 can’t get off a fucking block to save his life. He is worthless out there.
Offense got it together and got the TD for the lead.
But the D-line allowed a giant hole for a ucla run. Negates the great kickoff coverage by Zamora,#44.
I hate to take any credit for the TD but I had my wife change her shirt to her old USC one. Bingo!!
Spoken like a true Trojan!
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes….
Me, too. I changed into my lucky cape.
Thank you for that.
Finally
The Darkness is over, for the time being. Now, can USC put the pedal to the metal and win this game going away?
They should, they regained the mo, now just keep it.
You can tell by how hard the bruins are hitting which team came to play.
Welcome back Ja’Kobi.
At least there’s no moral victories in this one. It’s either win, or shut up.
Good chance they win by a score or two…..but any coach with a brain would have won by 35.
Get ready for one of Riley’s trick plays…..oops…..do not get any ready this week because he thought all they had to do was show up against this horrible team.
Okay it is time for the offense to show up and start putting up points
Maybe that is part of the problem. Riley thinks he can call the right play or two; then the offense turns on like a light switch. Riley thinks he is a wizard—but he is our “wizard.”
This team is not tough.
Boy, isn’t that the truth!
Playing to the level
of the opponent. And a pathetic opponent too. Two missed FGs after being kept out of the end zone. It just makes you sick watching it.
I’m amazed we can’t get to the UCLA QB.
Who exactly do you want to do that…..Lucas moves like a tank.
Shelby is fast, but out of control
Why are you amazed Sllen? How many sacks has this D-line make this season?
exactly
All they have to do is have open arms to make the tackle
Remember Courtland Ford? Doing a good job at tackle for ucla
SC has no clue on how to get off of blocks. It’s been like this for over a decade.
It’s unlikely, but maybe the locker room is hearing rumors that Rileyis moving on?
Just guessing.
Make my day!
ucla wants this much more than USC.
SC loses this game the recruiting class may take a hit. This is serious.
I’m at the game and it’s hard to watch such incompetence. I’d head out if it wasn’t for my wife.
I hope the fans are booing them.
Now SC is in serious trouble. They have abandond the run already. Maiava is not using his running ability.
They can’t run the ball cause the fucking guards suck. Banuelos and Miller can’t block worth a shit.
He needs to be reminded that he should be running 1-2 times each series. After all that was the knock on Miller Moss—no running threat.
I smell a really bad loss tonight. LR can try to explain losses to ND and ucla
Ain’t over yet, but I smell something bad.
Smell is a good word for the coach.
I still think we’ll pull this one out, but watching Lincoln Riley’s Trojans can be a challenge. ✌
Agree, I smell it too—like dog crap.
Maiava has to keep it.
I hope we keep Hasan and let him compete for starting QB. Maybe we need a true dual threat guy who isn’t afraid to run.
He is probably gone. I would transfer if I was him. He would be wasting another year at USC, because Maiava isn’t going pro. He is not good enough yet.
Now we need the offense to show up and score a TD
ucla better not score another point for the rest of the night.
2nd half, lets see if anything can change. Good stop to get started.
Well the defense got a stop
