The No. 11 USC Trojans and the No. 18 Michigan Wolverines — now both Big Ten members — clash today for the first time since the 2007 Rose Bowl. This will be just the third regular season game between the storied NCAAF programs, with the previous two meetings in 1957 and 1958.

At a Glance: How to Watch USC vs. Michigan Online

The Trojans started the season very strong, toppling No. 16 LSU 27-20 and shutting out Utah State before a Week 3 bye. Michigan opened its season with a win over Fresno State, before losing to No. 1 Texas in Week 2 and beating AR State in Week 3. USC will be a much more even match for the Wolverines — and they’ll be playing on home turf at the Big House.

USC vs. Michigan Date, Start Time, Location

USC takes on Michigan today, Saturday, Sept. 21 at Michigan Stadium. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT.

USC vs. Michigan Odds

As the higher ranked team, USC is the favorite to win today with the edge in a 5.5-point spread. The over/under is 44.5.

But the Wolverines still have a very good shot at taking this one. They have some star talent, like Cornerback Will Johnson and defensive tackle Mason Graham, and they’ll be using quarterback Alex Orji instead of Davis Warren. They’re also hard to beat at home — especially in front of a sold out stadium crowd.

USC, on the other hand, showcased a very effective new defense under its new coordinator coordinator D’Anton Lynn, and QB Miller Moss seems to be finding his groove.
