after 1 am Eastern time.

Using USCs schedule, they've played at Michigan at 12:30 Pacific, Minnesota at 4:30 Pacific and Maryland at 1:00 Pacific.

And that's it for Eastern trips. They end at Washington and UCLA.

And they're kids. They just sleep until their normal california wake up on game day.

Rutgers plays a game this week at USC that starts at 11 PM Eastern time.

Again, my original point, for the West Coast Big 10 football teams it's a weak excuse.
