5 Must-Watch USC Football Games In 2015

USC Cheerleaders — USC finally appears to be back in the national spotlight after a nine-win campaign in 2014. This season looks to be even better now that the sanctions levied on the program have expired. The Trojans should be a team to fear, and with that comes some great matchups this season. Here are five must-watch games involving the Trojans this season.

Steve Sarkisian USC — Last season's loss to Arizona State stunned the Trojans. USC held a nine-point lead with just over three minutes remaining, and then the Sun Devils scored 14 unanswered points with a last-second Hail Mary pass securing ASU's 34-32 win. The Trojans will be looking for revenge, but the last time these teams met in Tempe, the Trojans gave up 62 points in an embarrassing loss.

Steve Sarkisian USC — USC has been on the wrong end of their cross-town rivalry with UCLA in each of the past three seasons. The Bruins are clearly the best program in Los Angeles, and the Trojans will be looking to get revenge in Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Steve Sarkisian USC — The Trojans and Ducks haven't played each other since 2012, but the Ducks had the last laugh, winning 62-51 in Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. In order to be the best in the Pac-12, the Trojans will have to beat the best, and that means beating the Ducks in Eugene.

1. Saturday, Oct. 17: at Notre Dame

Steve Sarkisian USC — Last year's bout between USC and Notre Dame was a blowout in favor of the Trojans. Cody Kessler threw for six touchdowns in a 49-14 annihilation. USC travels to South Bend this season, and everyone inside Notre Dame Stadium will want the Fighting Irish to destroy the Trojans.
