📈 STOCK UP

🔼 We’re Hosting. The football team is hosting Georgia Southern for the first time in program history on Saturday! USC is 1-0 against opponents from the Sun Belt Conference. Georgia Southern’s head coach, Clay Helton, was the head coach at USC from 2015-2021. The Eagles recently fell to Fresno State 14-42 last week.

🔼 The Pros. Baseball alum CJ Stubbs made his MLB debut with the Washington Nationals on Monday. He is the 121st Trojan to play in the Big Leagues. Stubbs was called up by the Nationals on Aug. 29 and made his debut on Sept. 1. He became the first Nationals backstop to catch a shutout in his MLB debut as the team won 2-0.

🔼 Remembering You. The Trojan family mourns the loss of legendary men’s basketball coach George Raveling, who passed away at the age of 88. The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and College Basketball Hall of Fame coach led the Trojans from 1987 through 1994, taking USC to the NCAA Tournament in 1991 and 1992. With those performances, he earned NABC Coach of the Year honors in 1992 and 1994.
