USC Trojans head coach Pete Carroll has decided to forfeit a timeout so his team can wear their red home jerseys against rival UCLA on Saturday.

Carroll wants his team to wear home jerseys to honor the past when both teams used to share Los Angeles Coliseum.

“I just thought it was a really cool tradition,” Carroll said.

And he has no problem with giving up a timeout.

“As for losing a timeout? “I don’t care about it right now,” Carroll said. “I think it’s the fun thing to do, and I think the fans will appreciate it over time.”

UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel says if USC forfeits a timeout he will have his Bruins waste their own timeout immediately after USC officially losses theirs.

“It’s exciting,” Neuheisel said. “I think wearing the home jerseys is a great tradition.”
