2012 USC Football Schedule

The USC football program took great strides in 2011, finishing with ten victories and a top-10 ranking in an NCAA shortened campaign.  The new year comes without season restriction, enabling the Men of Troy to travel a road without end and reach for the ultimate prize. With the Pac 12 release of the 2012 football schedule, we can eye the obstacles upon that course to determine whether it’s one flowing with difficulty or ease.

2012 USC Football Schedule

9/1 Hawaii
9/8 @Syracuse
9/15 @Stanford
9/22 Cal
10/4 @Utah
10/13 @Washington
10/20 Colorado
10/27 @Arizona
11/3 Oregon
11/10 Arizona State
11/17 @UCLA
11/24 Notre Dame

USC will play 6 road games in 2012, with a 2700 mile flight to Syracuse marking the longest, and 11 mile bus ride to Pasadena being the short. Visits to Salt Lake City and Seattle come early on the calendar, which enables the Trojans and their fans to avoid the inclement weather often found in those cities later in the year.

Overall, it’s a schedule that sets up favorably for a championship run.  The Trojans will play host to Oregon in the Coliseum, which is just one of three home games during the stretch run. USC will not leave Southern California in November, with the crosstown Bruins in Pasadena accounting for the only road trip.  Also to be noted, 4 of the final 6 opponents on the schedule finished with losing records in 2011.

USC will not play Oregon State or Washington State.

The Pac 12 Championship game will be played on Friday November 30, 2012
