Notre Dame vs. USC is a rivalry that has changed the college football landscape with its intersectional play. Saturday marked the 91st meeting between the two programs, which came with 155 plays — all filled with animosity. Only one, however, changed everything.
When you think of going on “runs”, that is normally a reference to basketball. But during the second week of October in South Bend, football and the hatred for USC is the only thing on anyone’s mind.
The Irish and Trojans provided us a game of runs, as quarter-for-quarter the leverage shifted.
Just when it looked like Notre Dame would run away with the game as Jonathan Doerer put a 52-yard field goal attempt right in between the uprights for a 17-point lead, the Trojans put together a run of their own.
