No. 5 Notre Dame visits USC with Playoff berth in sight before 95th edition of this famous rivalry

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! But because of how good this team is in relation to its record.” This annual long-distance showdown originally became momentous back when every game wasn’t on television, back when teams didn’t habitually traverse the continent to play college football — and also back when USC didn’t play in a conference with two other schools from Indiana. They’ve led in the fourth quarter in every game this year.” Indeed, the Trojans are playing out their second straight disappointing season under Riley on their way to a minor bowl game, but that’s because they’ve repeatedly fallen short in close games, with their five losses coming by a total of 19 points. Riley has repeatedly said the Trojans would become strong in close games because “it’s all we know,” and that proved correct during their wins over Nebraska and UCLA in the past two weeks. This team is ready.” 55 points, 50 years This game marks the 50th anniversary of the rivalry’s 1974 edition, which was also one of the greatest wins in USC’s history.
