HONOLULU (AP) Fourteenth-ranked USC opens as a big favorite at Hawaii in the Trojans' first game since the NCAA imposed sanctions on the program and under new coach Lane Kiffin.
Kiffin, who succeeds Pete Carroll, rejoined the program after a year with Tennessee and 20 games with the Oakland Raiders. Before that, he served as a USC assistant for several seasons.
The game was put in question when the NCAA hit USC with penalties that included a two-year bowl ban and four years of probation. The NCAA also banned USC from playing a 13th game this and next season, but later delayed the penalty to avoid forcing Hawaii to cancel this game.
The Trojans also opened their season in Honolulu in 1999 and 2005, winning by a combined score of 125-24.
