Notre Dame Vs USC Predictions

Clay Helton desperately wants to hold on to the Head Coach gig he currently has at USC. I don’t know what his contract terms are, hell could be game to game.

To keep this job you have to beat UCLA and ND on a regular basis and unbelievably QB Sam Darnold dropped into his lap. He’s a redshirt freshman who has been outstanding since landing the starting job.

They just beat UCLA 36-14 and are averaging 474 yds per game and USC is 8-3. Helton will have Darnold for at least the next 2 years.

The other team in this match is a shipwreck arriving for the purpose of getting a real beatdown and then slinking back to South Bend. To further drive the stake into Kelly the imbecilic NCAA has imposed sanctions which include vacating all wins from the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

Ya think Kelly will do much recruiting now with this anchor around his neck? How about the assistants who are just waiting for the pink slip?

No real recruiting from anyone at ND. Actually, they deserve to be fired so where does that leave Kelly? He can’t hire any good assistants since if he stays 2017 will be his last year anyhow.

Best for Kelly to see what HC jobs are available on the west coast – weather is better also. Think he contemplates looking out his office window at snow for the next 5 months?

This will be a repeat of the 2014 game a 49-14 waxing. If Kizer even plays he won’t last the whole game. ND tries for the 1st quarter then completely collapses.

USC 55 ND 24
