Notre Dame vs USC Predictions 2021 – 7:30 PM ET NBC

Let’s see – USC has no Head Coach and a slew of injuries, but they still have a lot of talent on that team. They are 3-3 and they lost their last game to Utah 42-26. It appeared they also quit in that game.

USC still has an excellent WR in Drake London. Their OC is Graham Harrell who was the QB coach for Mike Leach’s air raid offense at Washington State. He also played at Texas Tech under Leach.

They are weak against the run, but we have a very suspect OL so I would look to them to load the box and blitz like hell.

We all know by now that Jack Coan cannot handle the blitz so they will be all over him. Coan has got to get rid of the ball fast. Just throw the damn thing into the dirt if no one is open.

ND needs to score 40 to win this game.

Score Prediction: Notre Dame 40 USC 28
