USC’s football season is over.

The Trojans announced late Saturday night that the team will opt out of playing a bowl game after losing to Oregon in the PAC-12 title matchup. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

The Trojans are by far and away the most high profile team to opt out of a bowl game during the coronavirus pandemic after finishing 5-1.

When teams that are lined up to play in a great bowl game decide to not play, then you know this is going to become a super popular decision.

USC wasn’t going to head to some joke of a game. They would have 100% played in a major bowl for a huge check.

Instead, they’re packing it in until 2021.

As I’ve said before, I’m 100% okay with Wisconsin not playing in a bowl game this season, and I know fans from around the country feel the same way about their teams.

It’s just a tough sell during the coronavirus pandemic, and you can now add USC to the list.

Hopefully, we’re back to rolling as normal in 2021!
