Initially I think we win something like 31-24.

My first curse word is reserved for Mike Denbrock.

 

[BeatSC]

Colin is cocky, I feel very confident now.

Was it normal when we came out here last year in nice weather and beat their ass again?!

 

[BeatSC]

1. Meatchicken
2. Skunbears
3. The Maize and Spew
4. The Cheating Stallions
5. The Big House of Losers

6A. Stanford
6B. BC
6C. Pitt

17. Delaware because of their helmet design

27. USC

237. All others

USC by a mile unless you live in Ann Arbor.

Computer rankings for USC:

DokterEntropy: 16 (Have been best this year)
Sargarin: 13
Teamrankings.com: 12
Massey: 12
FPI: 9

As mentioned in the other thread, the algos think we are the number 2-4 team in the country rn.

We probably aren’t going to get enough credit for this win as we should. Need SC to go 9-3 at worst. Only other really challenging game for them should be at Oregon, but Nebraska could be tricky too.

 

[KPENN]

They are #20 in the AP Poll

 

[dankgesang]

Stable, ranked, otherwise successful Notre Dame teams just don't lose to SC in South Bend, ever. Doing so is a sign that there is serious rot in the foundations. The closest comparison from the last fifty years to a loss next Saturday would be 2005, which team had a first year HC and was up against a #1 ranked USC who ended up having to cheat to get it done. All the other home losses are from teams in various states of coaching upheaval/rebuilding/etc. Makai Lemon is basically Freddy Krueger out there and Maiava will inevitably do some circus shit but I just don't see this ND team losing.

So the other RB Jackson was legitimately listed as OUT on the official injury report and then played once the injuries to the first two happened. How is that allowed?

 

[Dale]

USC disrespected Michigan’s passing attack so much that their LB Gentry led them in nickel snaps.

 

[BilboBaggins]

Beat these motherfuckers by a billion and get back in the top ten.

I don't think it's a rule like it is in the NFL.

Just a straight Busch League move by Dinkin Riley

 

[zelezo vlk]

Lincoln Riley wants to pull some cowardly acts and back out of the rivalry? Okay put your damn punctuation on this one. Make a statement!!

 

[texbender]

For real. Oh and I really need a ticket. I’m not below begging

I might have one.

 

[arndtjc]

I might have one.

Tex you’re always coming through in the clutch my man

Kinda the opposite IMO. The Notre Dame fans I know who hate USC more than Michigan are mostly from the west coast. Everyone else knows Michigan people, and reacts accordingly.

 

[texbender]

Were there any reported injuries for Irish vs NCST?

Haven't heard an update on Craig yet, but he had to leave the game yesterday.

 

[T Town Tommy]

Calling it now. Notre Dame scores 40 and wins by three scores.

 

[Irishdawg]

Whoa, that would be a huge defensive effort against a top Offense!!

 

[T Town Tommy]

Whoa, that would be a huge defensive effort against a top Offense!!

I’m not sold on USC. Make them one dimensional and I see this shaping up like the Indiana / Oregon game.

I think that’s what I said. If you live near Michigan you hate them more. If you live in SoCal you hate USC more. Which rivalry is bigger? USC ND not even close. Probably 20 books written about it. Ara vs McKay?!

One is a respected rivalry the other is a blood feud.

 

[BeatSC]

One is a respected rivalry the other is a blood feud.

I get it. The proximity to each other of two private school blue bloods with one being jealous can lead to that. Both play physical style ball and fight for regional recruits.

 

[FU BK]

Fuck USC, fuck Lincoln Riley, and fuck Chad Bowden...roll the rubbers up in a big ball and roll their asses back to California

 

[Dale]

USC injuries to track:

- LT Paige
- C O’Conner
- RB1 Jordan
- RB2 Sanders
- CB Graham - first appearance with 8 snaps against Michigan. Expected starter at Nickel

Other guys that have missed time seem healthy. Ramsey and others that missed Illinois was food poisoning.

 

[yankeehater]

ND -7.5 on ESPN

 

[Dale]

I wonder if Gray shadows Lemon. Recalling that post-A&M Gray repped in the slot.

Not me suggesting that will suffice but I don’t see Moore leaving the threat that is Lane. I don’t see Golden 1-1 against Lemon. So….

Didn’t lane get hurt?

 

[pumpdog20]

Why wouldn't we have Moore on Lemon?
