USC football has a “tremendous opportunity” this week, according to head coach Clay Helton.
“We’re all disappointed in where we’re at right now,” Helton said after USC’s Tuesday practice ahead of the Notre Dame game. “But one of the things that I feel from the team is they want to be able to do something special for our seniors, our team and our university.”
That something special would be pulling off a miraculous upset of No. 3 Notre Dame, both clinching a bowl berth and potentially preventing the Irish from earning a berth in the College Football Playoff themselves.
