USC Trojans @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish
3* Free Selection: Notre Dame +10
The Fighting Irish have looked very impressive this year. They can thank their quarterback Jimmy Clausen. He is hitting 66.7% of his passes with a passer rating of 123.3. He also has 12 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions. Notre Dame is ranked #25 and is 4-1 with impressive wins over Michigan State, Purdue, and Washington.
They were seconds away from being 5-0 but lost Michigan, a team that is also on the rise. Notre Dame’s opponent, #6 USC, is 4-1 and are coming off of a very impressive 30-3 win against Cal. The Trojan offense is averaging 28.8 points per game. Their defense has been absolutely dominant allowing only 8.6 points per game. The Fighting Irish are averaging 32.5 points per game. I believe USC will have a tough time stopping Notre Dame from moving the ball. Notre Dame has been winning but is only 1-4 ATS while USC is 2-3 ATS. Just like the game 4 years ago when Leinart drove USC down for a last second win, this game will be very exciting and competitive. USC has dominated Notre Dame over the last 3 years but this is a different Fighting Irish team. This is the reason why Notre Dame covers the 10 points and may potentially win this game outright.
