USC vs. Arizona State: Game time, TV schedule, radio, odds and more

The USC Trojans are once again in the friendly confines of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. After defeating Oregon State, 35-10, last week, USC will try to keep the momentum going against Arizona State. It is also an opportunity for revenge for the Trojans after getting demolished, 62-41, in the desert against the Sun Devils last year.

The Arizona State Sun Devils are trying to get back on track after a thorough beatdown in the desert themselves, losing 62-27 last Thursday night. With UCLA having beaten ASU, this game is a huge Pac-12 South matchup for both teams. USC is trying to stay unbeaten and the Sun Devils have to keep from falling two games back.
