Tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC the No. 19 USC Trojans (7-3, 6-2) will take the field at Pasadena's Rose Bowl against the No. 9 UCLA Bruins in a high-profile Pac-12 clash that can be live streamed free by clicking this link. USC fans can hear the radio broadcast on 710 ESPN, while UCLA fans can listen to the game on 570 AM Fox Sports LA.
These two teams are battling for supremacy in the Pac-12, and despite being 10 spots behind the Bruins in the College Football Playoff rankings, the Trojans are ahead of them in the conference standings.
The Bruins have won their past two matchups with USC, a streak that's coincided with the arrival of Jim Mora Jr. as head coach. He's hoping to continue that trend, and enjoying the rivalry all the while.
"It's always a fun game when you play your crosstown rival and it's great to have something at stake," Mora said.
"I think I know when I got here, that's one of the things I heard is it would be great to have this game be a game that has meaning and consequence in the Pac-12 if not nationally and I think this one does so it just adds to it, it adds to what is already an amazing rivalry."
This game carries a ton of meaning to UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley as well.
"It would mean a lot being able to look back and say I was undefeated versus Southern Cal but at the same time, right now probably isn't the greatest time to focus on that," Hundley said. "I think the focus now is just really focusing on us getting a victory and then I can focus on good things like that."
