Good Morning! Many former USC football players showed out during Week Two of the NFL, but maybe none more than the former quarterback Sam Darnold.

What else do we have brewing for you, Trojan Family?

🏈 Football gets set for their Big Ten debut

🔼 Big Debut. After resting up this past weekend, USC football will get back to the gridiron on Saturday, September 21 at 12:30 p.m. for its inaugural Big Ten bout against the reigning national champion Michigan Wolverines. The Trojans moved up one spot in the AP Poll to No. 11 despite not competing last weekend. Through two games this season, USC’s defense looks to be revitalized, allowing just 20 points with two takeaways. On offense, Miller Moss is settling in, having thrown for 607 yards and two scores this season.

🔼 Trojans Take Two. USC men's water polo made it an MPSF awards sweep this week after a winning home stand that saw the Trojans tack up three victories at Uytengsu Aquatics Center to improve to 7-0 on the year. For their impact play across USC's weekend wins, Max Miller was named MPSF West Player of the Week while Robert López Duart earned his second MPSF West Newcomer of the Week honor.

The Trojans will head to Thousand Oaks, Calif., for its first matches of the season where four returners and three newcomers will get a chance to see how they do as a team for the first time. Senior Peter Makk enters as the highest-ranked Trojan at No. 38 in the ITA Rankings while Karl Lee (101) and Oscar Weightman (102) round out the trio of ranked singles.

🔼 Trojans Live. On the latest episode of Trojans Live, head coach Lincoln Riley and Gavin Meyer preview USC football’s inaugural Big Ten game against No. 18 Michigan. Plus, hear from Trojan men’s golf’s Gavin Aurilla on the team’s season-opening win at the Southern Dunes Invitational.
