The Big Ten road schedule has not been friendly to USC so far as the Trojans have dropped both of their far-away road games in the minute at Michigan and Minnesota, and now the Trojans (3-3, 1-3 Big Ten) travel this weekend to Maryland (3-3, 0-3).

Coach Lincoln Riley said Monday during his appearance on the Trojans Live show that the team will change up its travel routine this trip.

"We're going to adjust just a little bit because this is obviously the longest flight that we have," Riley said. "And so we're going to do a little bit more here on early Friday morning compared to what we've done on some of the other trips and then just get out to Maryland and have a little bit less time there. And some of that again is just a response to the flight time and just some of the feedback from the guys and from the staff after being in a couple of these situations and going through it.

"So nothing Earth-shattering but shifting a few things around. And yeah, we're going to, you know how it is on the road, we're going to play a talented football team. This is a well-coached team. They got a lot of really good, experienced coaches on this staff, [Mike Locksley] has done a really good job bringing in some fantastic talent. And so we know it's going to be a battle and we've got to be ready to go."
