Primetime game, I expect?

 

[KPENN]

Didn't know where to put this so here. Arizona down 42-3 at the half against UCLA. Yup you read that right.

 

[Riddickulous]

I expect a similar gameplan to OU. Keep everything underneath.

USC's defense looks very soft. I think we're going to be able to score enough points to win.

 

[NDPhilly]

Run the ball all day long on them.

 

[RuntheBall]

They couldnt tackle Oregon at all. They should've just onside kicked it all days, cause they weren't stopping Oregon.

I feel good about the game, but USC will really be gunning for us, and isn't exactly a "big" win any more

 

[IrishLax]

Run the ball all day long on them.

They are truly one of the softest/worst tackling teams I've ever seen. It's pathetic. Pre-season #1 => about to be unranked.

“@BFeldmanCBS: Monte kiffin on oregon's 700+ yds: "it's mind-boggling. I've never heard of so many yards."”

I'm just afraid they're gonna do the smart thing and can Kiffin

We all hope they keep that douche as long as possible. He'll probably get hired to replace the Super Bowl winning coach or something.

 

[West Coast Domer]

Get pressure on Barkley and he is rattled easily.. I just don't want to beat these guys but kick their ***

Very true but we've known all along, this game will be dictated by ND's ability to stop USC.

Side note - Nelson Agholor looks like a player.

 

[BGIF]

As of today Sagarin's Predicator Model shows ND a 4.5 favorite over USC in L.A.

Will be the biggest game/win of the season as it may be the make or break for the title game/undefeated regular season.

Kinda like ND's conference title game.

USC allowed 1,318 yards the last two games. That's more than Notre Dame allowed in September or October.

I expect a similar gameplan to OU. Keep everything underneath.

Yep, but I'm not sure it'll be nearly as successful. Oklahoma is certainly a very talented team, but holy Jesus is USC talented. Lee, Woods, Algholor...Farmer? That is absurd. If you give Wood a ten-yard cushion, he might take it to the house. I will have nightmares during the USC week of Motta getting torched.

USC loves the screens, and if/when Diaco tightens coverage--lookout.

But I do like coaching favoring the Irish, big time. I can't help but get the feeling that Lane Kiffin plays with the best athletes in the country like inept boy Roman emperors played with the greatest fighting force in history hahah there are seven MAC coaches who would be undefeated with that offense.

USC's defense looks very soft. I think we're going to be able to score enough points to win.

Agreed. I expect that the team is dying to get into LA and punch the Trojans in the mouth for what happened last year. The question is, if Southern Cal is 7-4 and Notre Dame is 11-0, is USC going to view this is their BCS bowl?

My nerves will not last November haha

 

[tko]

I just pray we can get to Barkley and get in his dome. I wouldn't mind Tuitt to put his helmet into Barkley's sternum on like the first play maybe?

What Constitutes a Rival...?

What Constitutes a Rival...?

The evil villain that attempts to foil the other's chance of greatness.

USC would love nothing more.

And if we make it to the coliseum unscathed, they will play right into the spoiler "rival" role.

The Joker to Batman.

Will we let it happen?

"They known for cactuses and ****!"

 

[johnnykillz]

...we thought we had issues after losses the past few years.

Nope.

Dude is losin' it.

Did guy on the youtube vid say he was an Angel and Dodger fan...No bueno

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Yep everyone got duped. Fake account. National writers were tweeting it so I thought it was legit.

x100. A story about a complete dumpster fire has never made me happier.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

LOLOLOL. I swear the guy looks like more of an idiot everyday.

@PedroMoura
Lane Kiffin said he went for two with 1 sec left against Oregon to see if the Ducks "would break the record" for pass interference penalties

Delicious indeed

 

[ThePiombino]

I just wish his ineptitude wasn't so glaringly obvious. This way, maybe he could hang around a few years longer than he currently will be.
