USC’s season opener against Alabama is set for 5 p.m. on ABC
The kickoff for USC’s season-opening game against Alabama has been set for prime time.
The game on Sept. 3 will start at 5 p.m. Pacific time and will air on ABC, USC announced on Tuesday.
Tickets to the game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will go on sale in mid-June and will be available through Ticketmaster.
The game will be an early test for the Trojans, who will play one of the toughest schedules in the nation. In addition to Alabama, the defending national champion, USC’s non-conference schedule consists of Utah State and Notre Dame.
Eleven of 12 teams on the schedule went to a bowl game last season.
USC and Alabama haven’t played since 1985.
