Trojans Walk: The highly popular Trojans Walk, the pregame event welcomes the arrival of the USC team busses at the Coliseum off Figueroa Blvd. The team departs the busses and walks through a spirit line of fans and alumni through Christmas Tree Lane to the peristyle end of the Coli. The Trojans Walk happens 2 hours and 45 minutes prior to home kickoffs. So, this week the Trojans Walk for the UCLA game will begin at 9:45 a.m. Fans are encouraged to arrive early for “The Walk” to get a good spot to welcome the team as they ready to do battle with the Bruins.

This could be the last Trojan Walk for All-America quarterback Caleb Williams if he turns pro as expected.
