6-1

41-31

It was ugly at times, but you know what? I love this win. Irish were pretty gutty when they had to be. USC is loaded with talent no matter what anyone says, and that offense is explosive. USC came into this game with a chip on their shoulders given everything that has happened, and that worried me.

Defense was shaky at time, but Russell really had a nice game, and a great play on the ball over JuJu. I thought Kizer looked pretty sharp when he threw the ball, but held on to the ball way too long too many times.

Prosise 19 carries 143 yards 2 TD's. Guy continues his great season.
Kizer ran for 47 yards on 14 carries. (Too many carries if you ask me)

Fuller with 3 grabs for 131 yards and a TD. Not to mention, back to back PI's. Fuller really put the pressure on Adoree Jackson, who Doug Flutie is apparently having an affair with. I think Kessler might be apart of that love triangle as well

Good win! I'll take it. Playoff hunt continues!

Trick plays have killed us this season

Horray on being bowl eligible.

Does Iowa and/or Stanford jump us?

Neither should.

USC was #5 on ESPN's FPI and Notre Dame was #9 so yeah it was still a good win! Although the Irish are going to take this week off to improve the Defense AND the Offense (I hope) but yeah good week and we move on and hopefully go up in the Rankings!

No way

THis is the ND team we are use to this year. They will frustrate us most of the game but at the end they get the win.

I think this will be VG last year. Kelly looked pissed at VG when he was shaking his hands. The D is putting too much preasure on the offense and on a young QB.

What's the word on Alex Bars. I heard possible dislocated/fractured ankle. Sounds like another season ender. We've had too many of these. Quentin Nelson wasn't 100% and we can't afford to lose him.

 

[purguy12]

Out for the year fracture ankle. Another done for the year.

Injuries are a part of the game. But so many season Enders. Just downright unfair.

Yeah I understand injuries but Season Ending injuries this many is crazy.

 

[nathans8823]

I will never understand the polls. When u have teams with the same record u look at each teams Loss. match it up and both teams best win. In no way Stanford should be ranked ahead of us. Now its not a big deal because in a way it helps ND out if ND beats them.
