Fresno State (0-0) at No. 14 USC (1-0) — Game Preview
Fresno State enters at 0-0 while No. 14 USC sits at 1-0 as the Trojans host the Bulldogs at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Friday, September 4, 2026.
Fresno State is playing its first season in the Pac-12, and the Bulldogs arrive under second-year head coach Matt Entz, a former USC assistant now coaching against the program where he once worked. USC’s offense showed its hand in the opener, with quarterback Jayden Maiava completing 25 of 29 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns. Behind that passing attack, running back King Miller provided the ground balance, carrying 15 times for 63 yards and a touchdown. Up front, edge rusher Jadyn Ramos already has a sack to his credit through one game, an early sign of the pressure USC’s defense can generate. For the Trojans, holding serve at home carries extra weight as a ranked team opening its non-conference slate against a program adjusting to a new league.

Players to Watch: Fresno State vs. USC
USC Trojans
Jayden Maiava — QB. Maiava went 25 of 29 for 286 yards and two touchdowns in USC’s season opener, a sharp showing that has the Trojans’ passing game rolling into their second home game. That kind of accuracy puts immediate pressure on a Fresno State secondary still adjusting to Pac-12 competition.
King Miller — RB. Behind that passing attack, Miller provided the ground balance, carrying 15 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in the opener. He gives USC a way to control tempo and lean on the run when the Trojans need to shorten the game.
Jadyn Ramos — DE. Ramos already has a sack to his credit through one game, an early sign of the edge pressure USC’s front can generate. Against a Fresno State offense still finding its footing in a new conference, that pass rush could set the tone early.
