Notre Dame vs USC Predictions
Well let’s see if we can get QB Sam Darnold a Heisman. After all we were a great help to a number of Trojans.
Junior Darnold has been hot and cold so far this season, but just wait to see what he does Saturday Night.
That’s right another night game at ND stadium – home field does not give advantage to the Irish anymore. Darnold will have a big night as will USC RB Ronald Jones.
Let’s see what USC has done so far this year:
- W – Western Michigan 49-31
- W – Stanford 42-24
- W – Texas 27-24
- W – Cal 30-20
- L – Washington State 30-27
- W – Oregon State 38-10
- W – Utah 28-27
Utah was a come from behind win last week.
Let’s take a look at ND 5-1 with a jittery QB and a bunch of inadequate receivers. If ND is to win the OL has to totally dominate the USC front 7 who will be coming all night.
We’ll get some run yards, but I would bet USC jams and stops the run. The only possible way for a ND win is for Wimbush to complete a few critical passes and runs all over the place. Outside of Georgia, ND hasn’t played the competition USC has.
USC rises to the challenge with Darnold red hot and beats ND.
USC 33 ND 24
