USC vs. Stanford: Stream, injury reports, and broadcast info for Sept. 9, 2023

Get full TV, radio and streaming information for #USC vs Stanford.

USC faces Stanford in one of the most unusual iterations of this longstanding series, which goes back to 1905. These schools have been playing annually for decades as in-state schools and fellow members of what came to be known as the Pac-12 Conference.

Whether it was the old Pacific Coast Conference or the AAWU (the Athletic Association of Western Universities), the Pac-8 or the Pac-10, USC and Stanford kept playing. Their series was interrupted by World War II and then by the pandemic in the 2020 season. Little did anyone know that a long-term interruption was about to emerge, in the form of both teams leaving a Pac-12 Conference which was about to splinter and die. USC is going to the Big Ten next year, while Stanford will head to the ACC. It’s the end of an era on Saturday night in the Coliseum.

Let’s give you the TV, radio, and streaming information you need, plus some injury notes and other details about this game:

USC vs. Nevada: Stream, injury reports, and broadcast info for Sept. 2, 2023

Get full TV, radio and streaming information for #USC vs Nevada.

The USC Trojans host the Nevada Wolf Pack in what will very likely be the last USC football game to air on Pac-12 Network.

USC could potentially play on Pac-12 Network later this year when the Trojans visit Berkeley to take on the California Golden Bears on October 28. However, if that game gets picked up by ESPN or Fox, this game against Nevada on Saturday will indeed mark the final appearance on Pac-12 Network for the Trojans, whose visibility has taken a hit as a result of being on a minimally accessible television outlet.

Ted Robinson and Yogi Roth do a great job calling USC games and other Pac-12 games for Pac-12 Network. The production values are first-rate. The workers who put together Pac-12 Network broadcasts do a superb job. All the personnel who create this television product are excellent. The problem, of course, is the inability of the network to reach a wider audience, which falls on Larry Scott and the Pac-12 CEO Group.

USC gets to say goodbye to all this as it moves along with its season and then goes to the Big Ten next year.

USC vs Nevada likely to be Trojans’ last football game on Pac-12 Network

#USC fans are planning to celebrate the end of Pac-12 Network. That’s the big milestone attached to the Nevada game.

We know this for sure: Saturday’s USC football home game against the Nevada Wolf Pack will be the Trojans’ last home game ever shown on Pac-12 Network. We don’t yet know as an absolute certainty that it’s the last USC football game to be on Pac-12 Network, but it’s more likely than not. This probably will be the last time any USC fan will have to endure Pac-12 Network’s limited visibility and accessibility.

We want to be very clear: The problem with the network is the lack of distribution and accessibility. The actual on-air product of Pac-12 Network is and has been very good.

We wrote:

“One of the especially sad dimensions of the Pac-12 Network story is that the product itself — what you saw on the screen, getting beamed into your home, if you did have access to the P-12 Net — was really very good.

“The problem with Pac-12 Network was never the production quality of a game or studio broadcast. All the people who were responsible for putting a good product on the air did an absolutely fantastic job. The network’s daily work gained industry respect.”

It’s important to make that clear.

Having done that, we turn to the reality that this will be USC’s final home football game on Pac-12 Network. USC fans will be throwing a party to celebrate this occasion. No, really: Tim Prangley, co-host of Trojan Conquest Live and part of the USC postgame show at The Voice of College Football, told us earlier this summer he would be marking the occasion at the Nevada game. It’s a goodbye bash for USC’s liberation from this national burden which has limited the program’s exposure.

See how other USC fans are reacting to the end of the Pac-12 Network reign of error, which is in many ways one more step out of the shadows created by Larry Scott and the Pac-12 CEO Group:
