Two plays. 166 yards. Two TD’s.
Still cannot defend over the middle. See the TD.
USC has let Notre Dame rush for 226 yards and it’s only the first possession of the secon half.
Again. Where is the run defense?
Where is the run defense?
USC marched down field quickly for opening TD.
No more wind or rain. Just a mass of humanity entering the stadium.

It’s warm and humid with rain on the way.
Here’s the closest USC tailgate to Notre Dame Stadium, right outside the Frank Leahy gate.

We’ve got bag pipes amidst the tailgaters at Notre Dame.

I hate to agree with you …. but, yeah…. Lincoln looks overwhelmed on the sidelines…. the pressure is getting to him…. and it’s spreading to the offense…. hope he snaps out of it..

Players win game and coaches lose game. After tonight’s debacle, it is abundantly clear that CLR is not long for the big stage anymore. The play calling in the fourth quarter was laughable, even Todd Blackledge called this out on the broadcast. USC is soft on both sides of the LOS, and there doesn’t seem any hope in sight. This is the residue of not committing to a physical style of football on the offensive and defensive lines. The final score of 34-24 is not indicative of the physical ass whopping that N.D. put on U.S.C. If N.D.’s offensive coordinator would’ve just ran the the ball at the goal line in the 3rd quarter, instead of getting cute, along with the N.D. kicker not left four points on the field, this game would’ve been a massive embarrassment…again! Add to the fact that CLR doesn’t want to play ND anymore should tell you everything the man stands for. Which is nothing worthwhile of being a Trojan.

Thankfully the ND kicker spotted SC 7 – XP, chip shot then
didn’t even get a try. 17 instead of 10.
Add in ND QB was way off so they were one dimensional.
Yet Riley’s MWC/MAC D could not stop the Irish. Smh.
Fire Riley, keep the series.
