If they have 18 conference games, and USC and UCLA play each other twice, then that's 8 long distance road games, I could see scheduling two road trips a season with away games on consecutive weekends (e.g., Fri/Sun then Thur/Sat) and not returning home between those weekends
Because of quarter system, Stanford football can play three road games before classes start. USC is on the semester system so their classes start the third/fourth week of August.
