Arguably the biggest test of the 2024 season thus far awaits no. 4 Penn State on Saturday afternoon. The Nittany Lions will travel 2,000+ miles and across multiple time zones to battle the 3-2 USC Trojans at the LA Coliseum for a Big Ten clash (that is still weird to type) at 3:30 PM ET, 12:30 local time.
While the Nittany Lions enter the game as 5.5 point favorites with many in the national media predicting a potential east victory for Penn State, let's get some perspective from the Trojan side of things. Let's go behind enemy lines with Ryan Young of TrojanSports to find out more about how USC is feeling entering the contest, what the vibe is in LA after an upset loss at Minnesota last week, and more.

Do you view this as a must win for the Trojans? Do you expect them to play like a desperate team on Saturday?
