Moreau has a pulled hamstring, and his absence will put just a little more pressure on the UCLA defense, which will be facing a hot quarterback and a hot running back.


USC quarterback Cody Kessler has completed 73% of his passes in the last four games. Trojans tailback Javorius Allen has 10 touchdowns and three 100-yard rushing performances in the last four games.

As expected, Fabian Moreau, one of UCLA's starting cornerbacks, will not play.


He is in street clothes as his teammates are warming up.


One of UCLA's starting safeties, Anthony Jefferson or Randall Goforth will probably start in Moreau's place, with freshman Tahaan Goodman stepping into a more prominent role at safety.


UCLA running back Damien Thigpen is also in street clothes. Jordon James is expected to play for the Bruins, but everyone should expect to see a lot of Myles Jack at running back.

It's about an hour before kickoff at the Coliseum, and the stadium is starting to fill up with what is expected to be a near-sellout crowd.


As intense as the UCLA- USC football game always is, the fact that it is a cross-town rivalry makes it, in many cases, a little more friendly.


For example, there were many groups of fans -- some dressed in blue, others in cardinal and gold, walking together around the Coliseum this afternoon.


There is even a little crossover on the football teams. A few examples:


Abe Markowitz, a senior offensive lineman for USC, is son of a former UCLA linebacker. Barry Markowitz lettered for the Bruins in 1974. Abe's great grandfather, Richard Love, played basketball and tennis at UCLA.


Jim Mora's father, Jim, received a master's degree from USC and his mother, Connie, is a USC graduate.


UCLA safety Brandon Sermons is the brother of former Trojan running back Rodney Sermons, who played at USC from 1994-97.
