The Trojans leave for Washington on Friday, but their equipment is getting a two-day head start.
USC's appropriately decorated equipment truck -- loaded with all the game, practice, medical and other gear needed for the team's trip to Seattle this weekend -- is leaving at 12:30 p.m. today to begin a 1,150-mile, roughly 24-hour drive up Interstate 5, with a scheduled arrival set for Thursday afternoon.
The truck, operated in shifts by two USC bookstore drivers, will then make the return journey immediately after the game on Saturday night.
