Colorado State vs Michigan Preview
Notre Dame got off to an 0-2 start in the 2022-2023 college football season, but the Fighting Irish have fought back to go 8-1 since then, so they bring an 8-3 record into Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles to take on the 10-1 USC Trojans. USC is favored but only by 5.5 points, so look for it to be a battle the whole way.
Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman said in his pre-game press conference that this is a “huge rivalry” for both teams and a lot of strong feelings, especially with it being the last game of the season.
“To be a part of this rivalry for the last game of the year, there’s a lot on the line for both teams. This is a huge rivalry for us. It goes back many years, to the 1920s. There’s a different feeling about this one. I can feel it among our program and our players. I knew it last year, but this year, being at the end of the year you can really feel it,” said Freeman.
He also said that USC quarterback Caleb Williams is one of the best in the country and it’ll be hard to stop him.
“We’ve faced some really good quarterbacks this season and he’s one of the best I’ve seen. His arm strength is one thing. His decision making is another. His ability to extend plays – he’s one of the few guys I’ve seen continuously break tackles. He can make people miss, but he breaks tackles. Guys have their hands on him and he continues to stay up. That can be devastating to a defense,” said Freeman, adding, “That will be the challenge vs. Caleb Williams, as well as the coverage. We have to cover those wideouts and continue to mix up the coverages we play against them. But continue to do your job. Stay in your rush lanes. If you have an opportunity to bring him down, bring him down. … it all starts with the quarterback. Every offense I believe starts with the quarterback and the decision making, his ability to extend plays and put the ball where it needs to go. … Every position on their offense will present a challenge.”
The Notre Dame vs USC game kicks off on Saturday, November 26 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern on ABC.
