Late afternoon kickoff set for Arizona football’s trip to USC

Arizona’s next road trip will begin like the last one did, with a game starting during the day. It won’t end that way, regardless of the outcome.

The Wildcats’ Oct. 30 trip to USC is set for a 4 p.m. PT kickoff, with either ESPN2 or ESPNU airing the broadcast.

Arizona (0-6, 0-3 Pac-12) has lost five straight to the Trojans (3-3, 2-3) at the Los Angeles Coliseum, falling by an average of 12.6 points with three of those games decided by one score. The Wildcats’ last win there was in 2009, a 21-17 victory that is one of just two against USC in the past 19 meetings overall.

The UA, which takes an FBS-worst 18-game losing streak into Friday night’s home matchup with Washington, hasn’t won a game in California since 2017 when it pulled out a 45-44 victory at Cal.

Kickoff time for Arizona’s Nov. 6 game against Cal, for Homecoming, is expected to be announced next week.
