EUGENE, Ore. -- The Trojans have arrived.
After a two-hour flight up the coast, the USC team charter touched down at Eugene's Mahlon Sweet Field at 4:30 p.m. The Trojans then went directly to Autzen Stadium for a walk-thru before busing to their team hotel, where they'll conduct meetings and final preparations for Saturday night's game against the Ducks. Here are some photos from the journey to Oregon:

How does the equipment truck get to Eugene? When does it leave? Is it the same truck for every week? Do they drive it there? What about for ND and Ohio State? Is it just a sticker that they roll onto a regular Uhaul?
FIGHT ON.

Get em' SC!! You can beat any team in the nation if you stay red hot!! Defense you have no weakness when you swarm the ball carrier and hit low while wrapping up very tightly. No shoulder bumps on Saturday please!!!
Why go the day before the game? Why not be consistent and arrive a two days early?
