Preview

The last time these teams met when they both ranked inside the Top 15 in the country, we were blessed with this instant classic in 2005:

The Irish, favored by 4.5, have exceeded expectations thus far in 2017. After a one-point loss against Georgia back in early September, Brian Kelly’s squad has reeled off four wins in a row, including impressive road performances against Michigan State (38-18) and North Carolina (33-10).

USC, meanwhile, has sort of represented the antithesis of Notre Dame’s early season. A top-5 team coming into the country, the Trojans lost at Pullman and haven’t been nearly as dominant as expected in wins against Texas (27-24), Cal (30-20) and Utah (28-27).

Nevertheless, no matter how each team has gotten to this point, they both have just one loss, and the victor on Saturday night will remain squarely in the hunt for the College Football Playoff.
