Four months ago, USC football kicked off its season with a victory over LSU in Las Vegas. Now, the Trojans are officially back in Sin City.

USC has arrived in Las Vegas ahead of the Las Vegas Bowl matchup with Texas A&M. The team will spend the week in town, engaging in pre-bowl activities leading up to Friday night’s game.

Highlights of the team’s Monday included handing out holiday meal kits to families in need and visiting Fremont Street. In addition, USC head coach Lincoln Riley and Texas A&M head coach Mike Eli attended a bowl kickoff event together with a view of the famous Bellagio fountains.

One notable attendance of the pre-bowl festivities was five-star quarterback signed Husan Longstreet. While Longstreet is not eligible to play in the game itself, he has been practicing with the team during their preparation period leading up to the game. Longstreet was previously committed to A&M, which spices up this game even though the quarterback isn’t playing in it.

Kickoff of the Las Vegas Bowl between USC and Texas A&M is set for Friday night at 10:30 p.m Eastern time, 7:30 Pacific, on ESPN.
