Notre Dame vs USC predictions.

Okay, I will be the one to take it on the chin by picking USC to win 36 - 27.

I predict that SC will bring their "one trick pony of a band" and will bore the living hell out of everyone. Thank God ND wise up and put the visiting band up in the noise bleed section so no one can hear them anymore. Watching that arrogant band strut about the field made me sick. Then to play over the ND band at the end of the game during Notre Dame, Our Mother makes me sick.

Irish 75 SC 6
 
Absolute true story about the 2015 game with USC . Irish win and I and a bunch of my family members are walking back to the White Lot feeling our oats. It's very late and the Irish just beat Southern Cal.. The USC band is gathered in a parking area next to the Stepan Center. My ten year old grandson goes up to the some of the band members for a picture and they decline. My grandson tells them that they are in our house and goes ahead and snaps a picture to the anger of the band members. You had to be there but it was hilarious. That was the night a ten year old stood up to the Trojan marching band.
 
Hoping the bye week is used to our advantage, but I feel somewhat concerned we come out flat and have to shake off some rust. By the 4th quarter our well rested team should be able to wear down the fatigued USC team with our stable of backs.

ND - 34
USC - 27
 
Comes down to BW. If he can hit 60 % of his passes, running game will open up. ND's defense needs to get at least 2 turnovers.

28-28 going into the 4th. ND gets a pick 6 and goes on a long drive to wrap up the game.

ND-42
so cal-28
 
ND wins in OT on a TD after the Irish hold SC to a field goal.
Trojans-34
ND-37

ND maintains their poise and focus: 36-17
ND reverts to 2016 version...loss 28-36
 
If it's a 35 point plus type game meaning offenses are scoring, SC will win. However I look for a mid 20s type close battle.
ND 28. SC 24

Lol...I do always remember USC's band playing over the ND band!
 
ND 31
USC 24

I think USC will play really well. I am anticipating us slowly suffocating them with the running attack in the second half so even if they can score quick, their defense can't get off the field.
 
To me the key is how much pressure the Irish put on Sam. If he has all day to throw than its going to get very nerve racking. I think the Irish take it 27-21 in a tight one.
 
ND wins 34-24

ND run game dominates the game.
ND defense causes at least 2 T.O.
BW throws for over 200 and runs for near 100
ND racks up over 300 on the ground
