These are good points Norcal but...look at the score differentials. ND has lost very narrowly. Also I have seen every Nd game and most of UCLA,s, Simply put, you are a much better team.

Thanks Perse but guys that pick out me or another poster for constant attack don't effect me, they make me a bit sad. I don't mind any honest criticism, I make a lot of mistakes, but guys that live to insult others are both just pathetic. Best meet with no response.
Beach ,
It should be an interesting game ! I know that ND has lots of talent, but then again we have Kelly.
The few times that I watched your team, I was also impressed with your talent !
Tough game to make any kind of prediction ?
The key is Kizer. Will he frustrate USC's front 7, avoid getting sacked, successfully employ zone read or not? USC has been clobbering STATUE like pocket passers, not dual threat types....facing pocket QB's except for Bama's Jaylon Hurts who blew the wheels off trojan D when Saban put him in.

eft,
Unfortunately , that is the story of Kelly's whole offense , as the QB goes, so goes the offense !
while I think our D has improved under Hudson, they are still not very good, so if Kizer is hot,
this could be a real shootout ?
It is tough. I believe we will win close. I would not be surprised if we lost. QB who can run have been our weakness.
It really comes down to BK's failed decision's . From game one to this past Saturday he never makes the correct decision . Now I am not saying he is the reason for failure as
that could be poor execution on the part of the players . But whatever he decided did not work. I will give a few examples and you guys can add to the list:
1- Week #1 vs Texas .. great comeback .. up by 4 points with about 4 minutes to go. The offense is clicking .. the defense ???? lol a mess. 4th and 1 around midfield .. you can clearly see Kizer pleading to go for it ! Nope instead we punt and ohhh what a punt it is ... a shank .. never pinned them in at all and we all know the rest. It may not seem like a big moment but if ND gets the 1st down and goes on to score at TD .. game would have been over . He didn't get it right all year.

I've posted how many times?
USC scores in the 30's - almost all teams get close or do against ND sans the hurricane in NC and Army
the question as to who wins is how can ND score in the 30's as well

what to look for ND vs USC
will the ND players rally behind Kelly and put forth a gargantuan effort to compete with USC
or
will the players role over in the manner that Golson did vs USC.
what will Kelly's demeanor be on the sidelines, passionate or disassociated?
these factors alone make the game interesting.
