The USC-Michigan game carries College Football Playoff stakes for the Trojans. That’s the biggest part of this game for the Men of Troy. However, there’s more about this game than the playoff. It’s a special and historic moment. Lincoln Riley knows this, as Wolverines Wire shared:

I don’t think you can ignore it. It’s a big game. I mean, it is. It’s for a lot of reasons. I mean, in any year, it would be a big game. But you go first Big Ten matchup, you’re taking arguably the two most iconic brands in the conference, and two of the most iconic brands in the sport and you pair them up together and I think probably fitting that we’re doing it at their place. Being that they’ve obviously been in the Big Ten forever. And so it’s cool, man. I mean, it is. It’s cool. It’s a great opportunity. And so I don’t think there’s any harm in acknowledging that.

Let’s see if USC can seize this opportunity on Saturday.
