Since watching USC’s January 1st demolition of Penn State in the Rose Bowl, Trojan football fans nationwide have been anticipating the upcoming 2009 season, and tomorrow afternoon, they will finally get their wish, as the Trojans will kick off their first practice of the season at 4:00 PM PST in an anticipation of their season opener on September 5th against the visiting San Jose State Spartans.
