UCLA-USC Rivalry Game Holds Weight for 9 Vikings Teammates

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – Before the Vikings take on the Cardinals Sunday, a handful of teammates will be invested in the results of one particular college game Saturday evening.

University of California, Los Angeles will host Southern California for a Pac-12 matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (CT).

Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen, a USC alum, only had one thing to say about the matchup: “We’re going to win.”

Minnesota’s roster holds a large number of alumni from the rival teams – seven on the active roster and two on reserve lists.
