Why the Dark uniforms?

I think will wait to see what color scheme the Bucs wear Sunday at home.

They almost blew the game late because they were worn down from getting bombarded by the sun coming and going ...

I think both teams can get a waiver to wear their dark colors if they are different enough

I though I read somewhere that they're both technically supposed to be penalized, but for the sake of the rivalry, they both decline or waive it or whatever. Did some digging, and the rivalry's Wiki page had this:

 

Quote

Starting in 2006, the coaches at the time, USC coach Pete Carroll and UCLA coach Karl Dorrell, expressed an interest in restarting the tradition of both teams wearing primary colored home jerseys. At the time, the NCAA football rules Article 3. a. stated, "Players of opposing teams shall wear jerseys of contrasting colors, and the visiting team shall wear white jerseys."^[20] USC coach Pete Carroll said he would be willing to lose two timeouts during the game so that the USC team could wear their cardinal jerseys for the UCLA-USC football game on December 6, 2008.^[21] It was determined before the 2008 game that the visiting school would only lose one timeout for incorrect equipment. Carroll agreed to forfeit a timeout to satisfy the ruling and Coach Rick Neuheisel agreed to forfeit one, in return (even though, as the coach of the home team, he was not required to do so by the ruling) to get back this tradition, and it was renewed in the 2008 game.^[22] In the wake of the coaches' decisions, the NCAA decided to amend their rules regarding away teams' uniforms (which were originally put into place to provide more contrast for black-and-white photography and television broadcasts), changing the rule to state that the teams must agree on the decision for both teams to wear their colored jerseys before the game and that the uniforms must be of easily contrasted colors.

So they used to both accept the same penalty and the NCAA decided that wasn't supposed to be how things work and changed their rules

As any parent knows, if the kids are willing to accept a penalty, the penalty isn't going to work.

Green on green with gold helmet is the traditional USF way.  Haters be damned.  There should be a NCAA rule that requires other teams to get up to our level because it's so nice up here.

Didn't know if they were going to break out the alternates for the night game. I guess there would have been a whole lot of hoopla over that though. Plus they'll probably wait for more widely televised game as well.
