USC football will travel furthest distance of any team for Big Ten away games in 2024

For USC football fans nervous about the team traveling further to away games in the Big Ten than the Pac-12, your concerns may be justified.

Cameron Salerno of CBSSports.com did the math and the Trojans will travel the longest distance of any team in the Big Ten to away games in 2024. Outside of UCLA, USC will play Maryland, Northwestern, Penn State and Purdue on the road. That adds up to 16,134 miles traveled, which is more than double the mileage every non-Los Angeles based school will have to go for away games. 

That's definitely something to think about...
