ESPN is in love with PSU and Barkley this year. They won't pass on the chance to have them for GameDay.

I think Miami has more potential for Gameday. But we have a few big wins to take care of to even think about that right now

The biggest key to this game is going to be getting pressure on darnold fast and making him make mistakes. If they start throwing all over the field we will get killed, our play in the secondary is concerning to me.

Please let this happen. Please let the Hoosier arial assault drop bombs on a defeated Michigan team.

I'm not as worried about our corners as everyone else. Or the USC passing game at all for the matter.
The person who scares me the most is Ronald Jones. Everytime someone is out of position, he can take it to the house. He's the RB version of Will Fuller.
We stop Ronald Jones, and it's game, set, blouses.

USC just doesn't scare me this year. Something about them screams soft. Their win over Oregon State was actually the smallest margin of victory for any team against Oregon State this year.
They have a good offense but are prone to mistakes. They have had 13 turnovers this year and have forced 15, but literally all of those came in their games against Oregon State, Cal, and Texas. They are 59th in total defense, and 55th in rush defense.
I see this game being close for a while because it's a rivalry but going up 2 scores in the 4th and then the defense forcing a big turnover that we turn into more points.

Losing him to SC was the darkest timeline

He could've run behind our OL, who's timeline is darkest?
Jones and Adams would've been a phenomenal haul. Heck, freshman Jones might've beat out Prosise for 2015.
I hear ya on this, but I never discount them. I hope you're right!

For all you 5-1 tough guys who aren't afraid of SC...
I hope the team you aren't afraid of shows up.
This season is sudden death now. If SC shows up firing on all cylinders, ND will have to do the same or they'll get beat... and they may even get beat then too.

We were there for that game. It was great, I would say about 40% of the fans were ND fans.

Exactly where I am.. Yes ND SHOULD beat USC, but if that team comes out and plays like they should, we get beat.. simple as that.. We have to take it to them early and jump out like we did against MSU

It'll be nice to have a legitimate home field advantage for the first big game of this year. This will be nothing like Georgia, USC isn't going to travel like that.
This will be a loud house.

usc always travels to ND well, but yes they are not georgia fans. 90% of the fans will be Irish

Poppycock! Only Georgia fans can do that!
Thing was, it took a once a once in history confluence of never, ever, ever getting to travel anywhere interesting for the Bulldogs, a chance to see the WC Cubs, the place where Atlanta's favorite adopted son, Greg Maddux spent his formative years, a chance to pre-tailgate in America's largest beergarden, Wrigleyville and finally their Super Bowl team from last year playing next door to the airport on the way out of town...
While the Irish have been doing it to other teams yearly for almost a century.

Funny how they travel well to other places but can't travel downtown on a sunny Saturday.
This is the start of the Oregon St game two days ago. Complain all you want about UGA buying seats but when it gets to this, you'll be talking to yourself and a couple of Russian Spambots on IE cuz that's all that will be left.

Georgia wasn't a big game?

It'll be our first big game with home field advantage. That's what I was trying to imply.
My first game at Notre Dame was usc. Leinhart was QB, Bush was RB and they blew ND out.
Drove up from Chicago in the am and stopped at a really nice breakfast place off the highway at about the halfway point. The restaurant was mostly filled with usc fans. And my tickets were a few rows from the usc band. It actually felt like I was at a usc home game.

You must've stopped in Michigan City where all the away teams stay (or at least used to). ND home game weekends were always fun in my hometown. SC, Penn St, Miami, FSU... you name 'em and we've spit in their Egg McMuffins.

A friend of mine was head chef at Blue Chip in MC where a lot of visiting teams stay. He swears no shenanigans ever took place with the team's food, but it was always with a wink.
He did say Stanford was the rudest set of team guests he saw in his entire time there.

Interesting that away teams would stay at the casino now. That smells like trouble... if only we ever stayed at a friggin casino or a hotel with round the clock ladies.
Pre-Blue Chip, they used to stay at the Holidome right off 94. Got into a good scrap with PSU in '88 at the hotel bar which was a late night, dance joint, shag-a-thon. Rooms after bar closed were only $25 and those were the days when you swiped left and right in person.
Oh to be young again...

A couple years ago when the basketball team was in Cleveland for March Madness they stayed right by a casino and I know for a fact that some of the guys on the end of the bench spent their nights in the casino. What better way to blow your per diem than at a black jack table?
