With kickoff set for 9 a.m. PT, No. 20 Southern California will prepare for Saturday's season opener against Arizona State with a round of COVID-19 testing and an early bedtime.
From Friday evening through the following morning, the program's itinerary more closely resembles boot camp than your typical college football weekend:
The Trojans will be in their rooms Friday night by 7:15, followed by lights out at 9:30.
Reveille comes at 6 a.m., with a staff meeting beginning 15 minutes later. Arrival at the Coliseum is scheduled for 7.
Arizona State will begin Saturday even earlier, with breakfast service starting at 4:45.
