How to Watch: USC at Illinois: Stream College Football Live, TV Channel

It’s a battle of two Top 25 Big 10 teams in Champagne, IL when Illinois hosts USC for the first time as conference rivals.

No. 21 USC is on a roll and hasn’t been daunted at all by conference play, and the Trojans look to continue that trend when it travels to take on No. 23 Illinois. Since joining the Big 10 in 2024, USC has not faced off against Illinois. USC has won five games in a row since winning its bowl game against Texas A&M, to cap off a 7-6 season in their first year in the conference. The Trojans have already won four games this season, and have won their last two games over Big 10 opponents. The competition will get tougher especially today, but the Trojans have seemingly unlocked something in conference play that just wasn’t there last year. Illinois is coming off one of its best seasons in recent memory finishing 2024 with a 10-3 record and the No. 16 ranking. This season started off right where the Illini left off, until running into the buzzsaw that has become Indiana. Illinois will have to find a way to collect itself, and bounce back from a 63-10 drubbing that dropped them from the No. 9 ranking. USC is the -6.5-point favorite on the road this afternoon.

The Trojans are coming off a 45-31 win over Michigan State last week, for their first home conference game of the season. Their offense propelled them once again to victory, out gaining the Spartans 523 yard to 337. QB Jayden Maiava led the show throwing for three touchdowns, and he rushed for two more scores. Running back Waymond Jordan more than did his job in support rushing for 157 yards, and Makai Lemon added 127 yards receiving with a 40-yard touchdown grab while running for another score. The Trojans didn’t punt until the final minutes of the game. Their defense will need to tighten up though if they are to keep up their undefeated season, accounting for a majority of USC’s 10 penalties.

The Illini’s best chance of winning this game is to completely forget their matchup against Indiana. The game was close in the first quarter with the Hoosiers leading 14-7, but it quickly got out of hand with Illinois only scoring three the rest of the way and getting shutout in the second half. Indiana QB was just too efficient with the football going 21 for 23 and throwing for five touchdowns, with the game quickly getting out of hand. Illinois’ leading rusher had 18 yards, and Indiana blocked a punt while returning it for a touchdown. Illinois needs a reset in every aspect of the game. The good news is that Illinois is still ranked, and it is heading home. The Illini deserve that ranking dating back to last season, and they must believe that they belong facing off against premier opponents like USC.
