The 'USC Trojans football program represents the University of Southern California in the sport of American college football. The Trojans compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the South Division of the Pac-12 Conference (Pac-12).
Before they were named Trojans in 1912, USC athletic teams were called the Methodists (occasionally the "Fighting Methodists"), as well as the Wesleyans. During the early years, limitations in travel and the scarcity of major football-playing colleges on the West Coast limited its rivalries to local Southern Californian colleges and universities. Between 1911-13, USC followed the example of California and Stanford and dropped football in favor of rugby union. They returned as the Trojans in 1914.
