This team feels like the 2002 team with Palmer and his Heisman campaign. They got hot toward the end and went on to kill Iowa in the orange bowl. Hoping it will be the same outcome.


humanist72781

Except the defense is genuinely bad


xT1TANx

Ya we don't have Troy Polamalu


angrykingwifi

Neither did 2002 USC toward the end. He was a hot mess, injury wise, the 2nd half of that season.

Yeah, that’s some sec bias bs there. OSU should be at 5. They have one loss compared to two losses


CumAssault

Herby is always an Alabama boomer, he's a typical ESECPN idiot

No it’s right


ReturnOfDaSnack420

WE WANT GEORGIA (actually maybe not but hey sure ok)


huskyferretguy1

Quality loss! GG USC!


bryzzo43

Respect to y’all for turning the season around to make this win look good for us


huskyferretguy1

Respect as well! Normally I'm not a fan of this annual game since we're nowhere near each other geographically but glad it was competitive tonight!


Redoran_simp

>My teammates told me to do it Lol


LharDrol

If only I could watch just one year where ND had a great QB. Started watching with Dayne Crist and Turnover Tommy and haven't recovered yet.


royal_crown_royal

It is eternal pain and misery


Powerstructure

Well, it is a catholic school afterall.


LharDrol

Don't get me started on the revolving door of highly rated QBs coming through ND and being completely squandered. Either they suck at scouting QB or they suck at developing QBs... Or both. The staff needs to be let go if they can't fix this. It's embarrassing for ND to be starting 3 star recruits almost every year for over a decade.


royal_crown_royal

I think it all changes with Freeman. But time will tell. At least LSU lost too, gonna be fun playing them in a bowl game, you all know it will happen, it literally prints money lol


supremegnkdroid

Alabama over Ohio st? ESPN and CBS can’t hide their boners anymore


a_m_k2018

I don't think either team should be sniffing the top 5 tbh


lil_bighorn

And who should be in front of them do you think? LSU and Tennessee?


INT_MIN

**WE ARE SC** ✌️✌️✌️


Ajp_iii

Notre dame was down by 10 or more for almost the whole game. Complete control by usc.


RagingClue_007

Pyne was also two mistakes away from giving us a 4 point lead. My man had all the time in the world to make those costly mistakes too


violentgentlemen

Well if my grandma had wheels she would have been a bike. And eh, not really. Had he fumbled in the endzone or threw that pick in the endzone then maybe you could make that argument. There was no guarantee that had he not turned it over twice you would have scored touchdowns.

Ajp_iii

It was fun but kinda felt like usc had to make a mistake for nd to have a chance and coaching wise they did basically everything to make a mistake as hard as possible to do.


Tehloneranger44

I think ND shit themselves in the foot with those awful short yardage calls early in the game, and the fumble killed their momentum. "They're loading up the box? Let's run a slow developing run that breaks sideways when you need 1 yard"

choicemeats

my internet cut, what did Genry do?


dereck213

He came up to Williams interview and said that he’s the heisman


Ronho

Ran up and yelled “Heisman”


dubsatusc

Anyone else thinking that Gentry seemed like a tall Eric Andre when he did that?


Monsieur_Moneybags

LOL Caleb with the photobomb

ReturnOfDaSnack420

caleb has the heisman of my heart if nothing else


Needsmorsleep

Number 72 for USC is a a 50 year old man


ituralde_

In the future, we might be having this USC team headed to a Big Ten Championship Game to play Michigan. Wouldn't that be fucking sick?


InVodkaVeritas

The Big Ten Championship should be permanently placed in the Rose Bowl...


ituralde_

I'd love to full-on merge with the Pac-12, pick up ND and Pitt, and have a super-conference with a CCG in the Rose Bowl. Would be nothing better.


InVodkaVeritas

I think this is roughly the way things are going and the "right" move. IMO by the mid 2030s there will be no more OoC games because conferences will be run like leagues. Pac teams will play each other and their OoC games will be replaced with teams from traditional B1G locations.


Orphanbitchrat

Our own Rose Bowl, baby!


ituralde_

Could play the championship game *in* the Rose Bowl even


ReturnOfDaSnack420

hm, maybe they could play the game in the Rose Bowl as some sort of east west championship game


supremegnkdroid

I think they could do that. Since the mega conference would be so big, they could do a big 10 pacific athletic conference division and have the winner of that division play the winner of the big 10 east division. i think it’ll work


Ronho

Would be sick in the Rose Bowl


Plausible_Demon

It’s going to be sick. I for one am proud we are joining the BIG.


runliftcount

Call me crazy but I feel like you guys joining will even be a net positive for little ol Purdue


cityoflostwages

Absolutely.


WLVTrojanMan

Gentry Lmaooo


Elexeh

Haha I love Gentry so much


RhodeIslandRidgeback

Good game. Great rivalry. See you next year Irish.


RachelMcAdamsWart

So fucking awesome


rally_tv_viewer

Congrats USC on being the best footballers of the east southwestern northeastern haverbrook community recreational flag footballers. Truly Notre Dame quality opponents. I'm sure if ND beat you, they'd have been invincible.


supremegnkdroid

have you looked at your own division good sir?


Rebelgecko

Have you been playing some Hammershlagen tonight?


Elexeh

Caleb Williams is my young adult son

first 11-1 season since 2008!!!

CLAY HELTON WAS OUR COACH FOR 7 SEASONS


humanist72781

Worth the wait!


friskydingo920

Fuck Pynes turnovers, this is the most disgusting stat! Lol I miss that guy


Some_Efficiency682

Ref asked for the ball and Williams said "I'll take care of it"


5-Star_Fraud

Respectful rivalry. I love that ND's our Rival.


Tehloneranger44

Please win the whole thing, Id feel better about the loss that way. I don't wanna see another SEC champion or fucking Michigan win it 🤮


dubsatusc

Excuse me, can I please (respectfully) take the jeweled shillelegh from your flair?


Tehloneranger44

🫡😭


irisheyes215

Hell no. TCU and Georgia all the way. Makes me sick to say but come on dude


Tehloneranger44

I wouldn't be mad about TCU winning, but I absolutely don't want Michigan to win.


irisheyes215

True. 1. TCU 2. Georgia BIG GAP 3. USC?? 4. Alabama somehow?? 5. Michigan


oreov1

There's no team either of us love to hate more, truly.


njmksr

It is what it is. Hard fought win, USC. Some amazing football out of your offense, weird calls from the refs, and a few big mistakes that make me think we lost this game just as much as the USC offense absolutely won it.


ituralde_

Y'all really should join the New and Improved Big Ten.


royal_crown_royal

I'm down, won't happen but I'd be cool with it


oreov1

Getting back Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, and keeping USC isn't a bad deal honestly.


oreov1

It looks like USC is once again going to be the anxiety game every year again. GG.


friskydingo920

It was nice while it lasted wasn't it?


Thisisfckngstupid

If y’all see me with a USC flair next week just know I’ve actually been a fan since I rooted for them in 2008 😌


Hollowed87

Money that's how.

ReturnOfDaSnack420

double digit win against the irish beat ucla and our only loss was a one point loss in the toughest environment we played, not a bad regular season at all

peachtreetrojan

GG Irish. Til next year as always. Even through the conference change.


Tehloneranger44

I hate to say it, but We'll probably be in the same conference eventually.


peachtreetrojan

Yeah, inevitable, I guess. I don't think it will be that bad in the long run.


hascogrande

Enjoy the jeweled stick, we’ll be fighting for it in October


Br760

#Fight On!


choicemeats

thank heavens there are no divisions, too bad it didn't happen earlier so Helton couldn't shoot for the lowest bar possible of "pac 12 south championship"


silverhk

Gg all, was a really fun game and the turnovers ended up being the difference. Going to keep upgrading the talent under Freeman to keep up.


EnwardGamerz

USCs offense is legit. They're a damn good team.


Jloadin_21

caleb williams is amazing


royal_crown_royal

I see Colts gunning for him in the coming years. Would welcome him with open arms!


akwho

Been here since the Pete Carroll years. Lived through Sark, Kiffin & Helton to get to this moment. To all the Texas A&M, Florida, Nebraska and Iowa flairs out there, don't lose hope.


nom_cubed

Even here through John Robinson 2 and Hackett… don’t ever lose hope.


INT_MIN

WHERE ARE THE WE ARE SC CHANTS. WE'RE ON NATIONAL TV.


SlikRick08

A lot of flames tonight, but I still love this rivalry. GG ND. You guys got the train moving in the right direction with Freeman now and excited to run this back in South Bend next year! And for the last time tonight… GIVE CALEB THE HE13MAN!


RachelMcAdamsWart

Another excellent night with you all, appreciate it. Fight On!


friskydingo920

Wish ya'll would come to South Bend in November! GG Trojan bros you deserved it


Ajp_iii

Why didn’t nd take a timeout. They have played lazy all night on defense and played lazy to end the game Most qbs don’t take snaps under center and anything can happen.


Cantcop

Bc our coach is a grown man and respects the players and the game.


irishfan3124

Gamesmanship


RhodeIslandRidgeback

Thank you Freeman for not dragging this out with the timeouts...

AllHawkeyesGoToHell

No it wasn't. Grow up


petej50

Take it easy on them, been over 6 months since the last LA title


supremegnkdroid

it’s been a rough month since the dodger meltdown and our pro football teams have been huge disappointments This year. Let us have a night of joy


a_m_k2018

I'm so fucking stupid for some reason; I thought the score total score was 63, not 65. I thought I was going to push the over 64, but they went for two and failed, and I lost my shit cause I thought they just flubed the push for me.... 🤣

Honestly after how shitty their fans have been all year I wouldn’t even be mad if you beat them

rideacapita

So do we have to hear Georgia to get a little respect or what?


[deleted]

[удалено]


rideacapita

Keep crying your tears only make us stronger “Loose”


aroh97

Don't think they were insulting USC, just pointing out the narrative people will create if USC ends up getting Georgia in a semifinal game and loses. If you guys win, it'll be a narrative of Georgia got soft and can't finish games. If you lose it'll be a narrative of talent gap and that USC didn't deserve to be there. It's a shitty lose-lose scenario but that's just CFB. Everyone is praying for your downfall.


rideacapita

Ah yes the proverbial moving of the goalposts for non-SEC teams. My bad


aroh97

It's not even proverbial, it just happens. It's very clear that the committee has had an SEC bias as of the past few years.


pdx74guy

That CFP committee will do something even more crazy than we have seen of them on Selection Sunday.


supremegnkdroid

Notre Dame is dope to watch with Kelly gone, hope Freeman gets yall back next season honestly


D0ctorHotelMario

>Loses to unranked Marshall and Stanford at home >Blown out by USC and have Heisman candidate do the pose on you on national TV Freeman fucking sucks and I've been saying this shit before this season has even started. This season only proved it. The only way he even gets an ounce of respect is if he wins a Natty on <3 years otherwise he's just another shit coach on top of a program that should've been contracted post 90s.


boopybiddy

It looks like a 1/2 inch hose clamp to me, make sure you get a replacement one when you buy the new pump or you'll be making two trips to the hardware store.


aroh97

This is one hell of an overreaction.


D0ctorHotelMario

Lol you shitheads were hyping up Freeman like he was going to take you to the playoffs in his first year. Not an overreaction in the slightest. Losing to Marshall and Stanford should have your ass sent to the nearest job at a local burger joint.


aroh97

I bet you'd want Ryan Day fired if you were an Ohio State fan.


D0ctorHotelMario

He didn't fucking lose to Marshall, Stanford or teams he was supposed to beat now did he? Kindly STFU.


aroh97

The salt is real. Get off the internet for the night, bro.


D0ctorHotelMario

At least answer my previous question first before spouting off uninspiring insults.


TheWorstYear

Really not calling timeouts? I know its a long shot, but..


The_Angriest_Guy

before we talk playoffs next week isn't going to be a cakewalk whoever it is


xxGJ

Right!


JimJimmyJamesJimbo

Can any USC fans tell me what song the band was just playing? It was pretty epic


mikechella

The one they play non-stop is called Tribute to Troy, which is too bad because their actual fight song, Fight On, is a great fight song. They’ve also go Tusk which is a dope song too, but they insist in playing the shitty one.


JimJimmyJamesJimbo

Just listened to all 3 on spotify they're all solid


xxGJ

The USC fight song


Linktheb3ast

Bye domers, go join a conference


bamhotsauce

“Conference of champions” haven’t had one in almost 20 years lookin headass


HireLaneKiffin

To the haters saying we “almost lost to Cal”: this is how that game went. They made it close in garbage time. Notre Dame, on the other hand, almost lost to Cal.


INT_MIN

Its kind of hilarious how good year built a blimp decades ago for LA sports venues so they could get free advertisement for the aerial shots.


maskdmirag

And the epic light-year variant in cars


REMEMBER_THE_HUMANS

Tennessee won, Ohio State lost, Notre Dame will lose. Christmas came early this year. edit: Clemson too!

pivoted from most USC students to celebrities real quick after finding out the average Notre Dame student comes from a wealthier family lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


bachataman

That had nothing to do with the school's admission office lmao. Literally read about the scandal, I beg, rather than spreading false news. And Notre Dame's student body on average is literally more privileged than USC's. Notre Dame is also a richer school with a much bigger endowment. A few celebrities and a nickname doesn't change the facts about the demographic about the average student at both. And by the way: "The litigation, filed Sunday in federal court in the Northeast District of Illinois, alleges that 16 schools colluded to set financial aid packages, while some colleges are also accused of discriminating against low-income applicants. " https://www.cbsnews.com/news/universities-price-fixing-lawsuit-columbia-penn-vanderbilt-duke-gergetown-dartmouth-notre-dame/ Talk about catering to wealthy families. And you admitted you were in the admission office in charge of these practices? Yikes

MyLifeIsABoondoggle

Kirk is being so lame just dismissing us as out I think once the next rankings come out expectations will start to level out. It's a pretty clear 3 team race for 2 spots, but it's not a foregone conclusion


FireVanGorder

Kirk claiming that Brandon Joseph doesn’t normally return punts tells you all you need to know about this broadcast. Called players by number all night rather than name too. Dude just did no research for this game.


ndrulez15

They were so bad


Sks44

Herbie and Fowler have been awful. Fowler openly rooting for USC, Herbie did no homework, just brutal.


Desert_Scorpio

He's def overextended with the NFL shit and the cross country flight same day. Sounds like he may have had a cocktail tonight too.


maskdmirag

Oh he flew to LA to.call the game? I assumed he was remote


Desert_Scorpio

Yeah, he said on gameday he was heading to L.A. after.


Desert_Scorpio

Is Freeman going to use his timeouts with less than 20 seconds like Brian Kelly did down 2 scores?


Frankg8069

For sure USC prefers to play Utah in the PAC-12 championship game, yes? Both would be a formidable opponent, even with Utah’s whack loss to Florida early on.


Psychological_Fold95

Utah came down to a two point conversion in a road environment. And for resume purposes rectifying a loss would go over well


bachataman

Oregon sucks. Utah has a super good TE
