LOS ANGELES — A new era of USC football is set to kickoff on Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, as the Trojans play the Rice Owls.

The No. 14 ranked Trojans have a lot of hype coming into the 2022 college football season.

The game will be USC’s first under head coach Lincoln Riley, and while much of the roster features new faces with a slew of elite transfers, there are a few veteran Trojans who have stayed the course and are ready to make an impact.

Junior wide receiver Kyle Ford is one of those players primed for a comeback.
