USC will suit up one more time in the 2021 season as the Trojans will embark on a chilly weekender to face Cal in the season finale for both teams. This game was postponed three weeks ago due to Covid issues within the Cal program. Both teams are 4-7 this season, so neither can gain bowl eligibility with a win. This one is simply for bragging rights. It's also the final game USC will play without new head coach Lincoln Riley on the sidelines.
