Saturday marks USC’s sixth road game of the season, putting an end to the team’s away schedule for the year. It’s the earliest any Pac-10 team will wrap up its road slate, as all other conference teams have one, two or even three away games remaining after this weekend.

“We’ve had an amazing run on the road,” Coach Carroll told his players during this afternoon’s team meeting. “Let’s make sure to finish this off right.”

The Trojans, who have had only three home games so far in 2009, will close out the season with three consecutive contests at the Coliseum.
