Don’t want to spend hundreds, or even thousands, to see the the UCLA-USC big game in person Saturday?

ESPN will be a great, no-cost alternative as it’ll televise the Rose Bowl battle.

The television schedule has been set, and the big game between UCLA and USC will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, the schools announced Sunday.

The game time was chosen by ESPN, which will televise the annual battle.

This year’s edition of the crosstown game is at the Rose Bowl.

While USC has been having far greater success on the gridiron than UCLA, the annual showdown is as if no other games matter. All that’s of concern for the cross-town rivals is who will claim victory in this battle: Joe Bruin or Tommy Trojan.

Both teams are coming off victories: USC 26-13 over Washington, and UCLA 38-24 over Oregon State. However, USC’s win over the fourth-ranked Washington was a major upset victory and could catapulte the 20th ranked Trojans higher in the standings.
