USC pushes No. 5 Notre Dame, but fall to Irish after disastrous fourth quarter

LA Times  

Notre Dame cornerback Christian Gray intercepts a pass from USC quarterback Jayden Maiava intended for USC receiver Kyron Hudson at the goal line in the fourth quarter Saturday at the Coliseum. The tape played on loop all week in Notre Dame’s facility, a sobering reminder for the Irish two years later of what USC, under Lincoln Riley, could be when everything was working in concert. USC quarterback Jayden Maiava leaps to the top of a pile of Notre Dame players and scores during the second half of the Trojans’ loss Saturday at the Coliseum. My message to the guys was you continue to do that through your life, you continue to do that with this football program, and the things you want will come.” Two years after Williams whipped up expectations of USC fans by picking apart rival Notre Dame in the Coliseum, the Trojans are still waiting for an encore and Riley is still pointing toward the future.
