Could use a dominant win tonight

[iwish]

OSU loses badly to Michigan, Clemson loses to S Carolina, and UNC loses to NC State. A solid win over USC will speak for itself but a loss leaves lots of remaining questions.

Time to show up….Go Irish!

I would be quite happy with a one point win.

Beat Southern Cal.

This is the most consequential ND vs usc game I remember in a while. Maybe since the Bush push game where a ND win would have sent Weis team to the NC game.

Stroud lost so usc qb is closer to heisman. ND could play spoiler..
usc looking at potential playoff appearance with win, ND could play spoiler.
ND needs win for shot at NY6 bowl.
2 new HC's looking to set the tone of series for years to come.
ND will have beat 4 ranked teams with win.

Go Irish

The 2012 win at USC sent Notre Dame to the title game. The 2018 win at USC sent Notre Dame to the CFB Playoff.

2012 was vacated. 2018 usc was 5-6. Little at stake. Do better.

I can honestly say, and no offense to the OP, but I don't give the tiniest shit about any of that stuff. I just want to kick USC's ass.....

We'll have time to fret over our opponent's SOS when we're on the doorstep of future playoff scenarios. For now, we just gotta keep the bragging rights. Which is actually kind of a subplot this matchup. We both got hotshot young coaches, MF's gotta show 'em who's still the boss.....

Consequential for both sides.

Just win !

You're wrong. There was more at stake for us in both those games
