The USC Trojans are one of the true blue bloods of college football, a program synonymous with Heisman winners, national titles, and Hollywood glamour. Playing at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, USC has produced generations of NFL stars and iconic teams under the Cardinal and Gold. Its tradition of dominance stretches from the Reagan-era of the sport through the Pete Carroll dynasty of the 2000s. Now a member of the Big Ten, the Trojans bring one of the richest championship legacies in the sport to a new rivalry landscape.
USC football began in 1888 and has claimed 11 national championships, including titles in 1928, 1931, 1932, 1939, 1962, 1967, 1972, 1974, 1978, 2003, and 2004. The Trojans have won 37 conference championships and produced 13 undefeated seasons, including 8 perfect campaigns. USC's dynasties under coaches like John McKay and Pete Carroll produced multiple Heisman Trophy winners and NFL first-round picks. After more than a century as a Pac-12/Pac-10 fixture, USC joined the Big Ten in 2024, carrying one of the sport's most storied legacies into a new era.
