After a semester of overcast skies and torrential downpours, the upcoming weekend might be the first true weekend of spring. Many students will make the trek from Los Angeles all the way out to Indio, California for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the biggest music festival in the nation. But that’s not the only draw for students this weekend.
The annual USC spring football game kicks off at noon Saturday, and the forecast is calling for clear skies and sunshine. Following a very successful bounceback 2022 season for the football team, there is much for students to be excited about.
Returning USC star quarterback Caleb Williams will be honored at halftime for winning the Heisman Trophy, the highest honor bestowed upon the nation’s most outstanding quarterback.
“He’s an integral part of the team, and he’s going to be a renowned player in the NFL,” said junior entrepreneurship major Sebastian Bustamante. “He seems like a really good guy and he’s a big part of the community. So it is important to honor that and his commitment to the team.”
The excitement surrounding the game is not limited to the play on the field and the halftime ceremony. Festivities at the game will include a variety of food trucks, photo opportunities and giveaways.
