For the third consecutive game, the USC Trojans will take center stage in prime time, as their Week 10 matchup against the Nebraska Cornhuskers is set to air on NBC at 4:30 p.m. PT (7:30 p.m. ET) on November 1.

The Trojans will enter the matchup with a 5–2 record, while the Cornhuskers currently share the same mark but will face Northwestern this weekend, meaning their record will change before kickoff on November 1.

This contest will serve as a rematch of last year’s thrilling 28–20 USC victory at the L.A. Coliseum. Historically, the Trojans have never lost to Nebraska, holding an all-time record of 5-0-1. This game also comes after a bye week, a situation in which head coach Lincoln Riley has yet to lose during his tenure at USC.

This matchup carries major implications in Big Ten play, as both USC and Nebraska could be battling to keep their postseason hopes alive while setting a competitive place within the conference standings. According to ESPN’s Matchup Predictor, the Trojans enter the contest as the favorites.
