Trojans in Turmoil
The USC Trojans are 3-2 SU and 3-2 ATS but this team was supposed to be a national title contender and not an also-ran. Steve Sarkisian has some alcohol related problems that caused the school some embarrassment and USC just decided to cut ties and fire him. Now the Trojans will try and right the ship under Helton who was running the offense. The Trojans have some decent numbers as they are scoring almost 40 points per game and allowing just 17 points per game but they have losses to Stanford and Washington this season.
Irish Not Overlooking the Trojans
Notre Dame is 5-1 this season and ranked in the Top 25 and a deserving home favorite but they are not overlooking the Trojans. “We get that all the time, right? You look at our schedule, and then they go: ‘Oh, that team's not that good,’” head coach Brian Kelly said. “I think everybody knows the kind of talent USC has, and regardless of what happened against Washington, we know in this rivalry game what kind of performance that they're going to have against us.” The Irish are scoring 38 points per game and allowing about 21 points per contest.
