Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.9 Rivalry Week
The most exciting weekend of the college football season is finally here. The greatest intersectional rivalry in college football will kickoff for the 91st time on Saturday. The USC Trojans travel to South Bend to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. It’s been an up and down season for the Trojans while the Fighting Irish are on a roll.
The odds from sportsbettingdime.com show that the Irish are 11 point favorites over USC this weekend, which actually looks a little light based on USC’s past performances on the road. The Trojans’ starting quarterbacks, Matt Fink and Kedon Slovis, have combined for six picks in their two road setbacks at BYU and Washington. If the Trojans forgo the air raid and plan to go run-heavy, they may want to think again; Notre Dame is surrendering just 3.7 YPC and 147 YPG this season, and the Irish have covered all three home games to date by an average of 8.8 points.
Spreads, stats and projections be damned this rivalry game is always fun and is ripe for memories that will stay with fans forever; like the recent 49-14 blowout or the famous Bush Push. The fight for the Jeweled Shillelagh will be fun.
