Notre Dame vs USC Predictions – 8:00 PM EST ABC

I’ll start out knowing ND sent a lot of very good teams to the Coliseum only to lose legitimately and stolen by the refs – so like Leahy said we have to score 5 TD’s with only 2 counted.

So this Saturday we find another undefeated team vs a 5-6 USC team that’s had a lot of injuries especially on the defensive side and their best defensive player OLB Porter Gustin. USC offensive has trouble scoring points and has been gashed on the ground. They have fairly good DB’s and a so so OL.

USC starts a true freshman at QB – a highly recruited 5 Star JT Daniels who’s experiencing freshman troubles having thrown 13 TD’s and 10 Picks.

They have some capable RB’s who can all run. Their OL just isn’t that good.

IF Ian Book is sharp and the ND OL protects him this could be over early. But USC always has quality players and always plays ND very tough, plus they need 1 more win to qualify for a Bowl game – And ND must win to hold their #3 ranking.

USC will give it a go to try to protect their HC, but barring a disaster ND should blow them out.

ND 44 USC 21
