Pre-Game Meeting

Here’s a noteworthy passage from my USC-Virginia game story.
“Several USC players said they were surprised when Virginia showed up on the field during the Trojans’ Friday evening walk-through inside the stadium.
“You could see them eyeing us,” linebacker Rey Maualuga said. “It was like a sign of disrespect. I think they wanted to prove something to us.”
Apparently, there was a misunderstanding over when each team was scheduled to arrive, but it allowed this parting shot from Maualuga.
“ I thought that was like a JV team so that they could make us think they weren’t that big,” he said.
