**No. 14 USC enters its 2026 season opener as a heavy favorite against San Jose State due to a substantial talent and experience gap.** The Trojans return 12 starters from their 9-4 2025 squad, including quarterback Jayden Maiava, who threw for 3,711 yards and accounted for 30 total touchdowns last season. Lincoln Riley’s team also benefits from home-field advantage at the Coliseum and the addition of defensive coordinator Gary Patterson. San Jose State, coming off a 3-9 campaign, faces a major rebuild with extensive roster turnover, limited returning production on defense, and a new starting quarterback in Hawaii transfer Luke Weaver. The Spartans have struggled in recent matchups against Power conference opponents and trail the all-time series 0-6. This matchup highlights the typical early-season disparity between a ranked Big Ten program and a Mountain West team in transition.
