🏈 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF

75 days until kickoff, Trojan Nation!

USC legends Frank Gifford and Cotton Warburton were the first Trojan duo to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in the same year — 1975.

🏈 Gifford was a First Team All-American halfback and played for USC from 1949-1951. The running back went on to win the NFL MVP in 1956 and became an NFL Champion later that year.

🏈 Warburton played from 1932-34 and led the Trojans in the backfield as a running quarterback during a winning streak that lasted 27 games, which remained unsurpassed at USC until 1980.
