I realized only the old people and the folks that don't mind googling would figure this out

Yea, my expectation is we should have a field day running the ball and could put up a nice score offensively. However, the matchup makes me nervous as it would be such a USC thing to do, to have their coming out party in ND stadium.

With that said, I'm fairly optimistic that Elko with 2 weeks will have a pretty good plan dialed up for them.

THIS is what I want to see

 

[snoopdog]

Actually I have Darnold rated exactly at the same level as Montgomery Van Gorder, But slightly higher than Montgomery Burns

I'm a child of the 70s.... Completely forgot about Jack Jones. Nice one.

Have you dudes watched much USC this year? They're not good. If we lose, it'll be because we laid an egg. We should easily cover.

I have. There's been good and bad from them. They've been frustratingly inconsistent. ND won't beat the 2nd-half-against-Utah trogan team by 20. Hell, they likely won't even beat that team, period. Or the 4thQ/OT trogan team against Texas. Or the trogan team that skull fucked Stanford for 4 quarters. If any of the other trogan teams show up, then ND should win.

How is Chris Hawkins still in their secondary? Feels like he was being recruited ten years ago.

That's what happens when they stay four years

This.... I think we are in for a real fight

It's not going to be 70 or sunny during the game

Check, and it won't be 33 and drizzling either.

Game time should be perfect football weather,, maybe a bit of a chill.

 

[Luckylucci]

Just started the Onward Notre Dame, "The USC Rivalry" and it is getting me pumped. Good watch if you haven't yet

 

[BobbyMac]

Too bad it's not ND promoting this.

Too bad they won't be wheeling out a Trojan Horse with the Green Machine... or will they???

I would be SOOOO hyped if we came out in the green-and-yellow.

Green Out Blowout

 

[BobbyMac]

I would be SOOOO hyped if we came out in the green-and-yellow.

Why would they do that? It's not like it's the 40th anniversary of that actually happening... or something.

Plus, if we've learned anything on IE this week it's: Hype = Bad.

 

[loomis41973]

I would be SOOOO hyped if we came out in the matte-blue and shiny-gold.

Fixed

Just checked out their message board and they seem to really really hate Tillery

Well, that seems fair. But whatever.

Well I hate their whole fucking team, so theres that....

I hope ND is winning by enough points on Saturday that sc gives the blind kid a chance to snap the ball again

Not to sound foolish but is this real? I always wondered how other schools got colors to happen but is ND for real? I am going and did not at all plan on bringing my green wear. If the stadium could actually become green I am down. I just can't remember the last time they tried this and if it worked.

Georgia’s infamous blackout of 2008 for the Alabama game is a great cautionary tale against these things.

Some schools tweet out a schedule at beginning of year on what colors for what games I believe.

However I don't think ND is actually promoting the green out

Texas Tech for example, has it on the ticket for planned ones.

The athletic department has done unplanned ones via social media as well.

 

[wizards8507]

Penn State's white outs are really impressive.

 

[SonofOahu]

sorry, we disagree. I would pick these QBs over him in next year's draft in a second:

(Not in any specific order, just before Darnold)

Josh Rosen
Lamar Jackson
Josh Allen
Baker Mayfield
Mason Rudolph
Riley Ferguson

I feel you, man. I've been saying, all year, that Darnold is a good (not great) QB. This list takes it a little far, though. I would take Rosen... maybe Allen, before Darnold.

USC's strength may play to our weakness. Darnold is really good on short-to-medium range passing. Our linebackers don't cover well. USC may be able to exploit that.

 

[Pointman02]

Tennessee with the orange and white check pattern in the stands is really sweet.

Maybe ND should coordinate green out with white hashes behind each end zone.

Getting the blue hairs just to wear a color is a miracle.

If only they'd use Notre Dame blue instead of that Faustian tint.
