The university is expecting about 30,000 students, parents and alumni to fill the campus Saturday afternoon before the football game against Stanford.
The game will begin at 3:30 p.m. at the Coliseum and will be televised on Prime Ticket.
During the halftime presentation, the Trojan Marching Band will perform. Adiel Brasov and Romi Rudolph, Mr. and Ms. USC for 1991, will also be presented during halftime.
