was there with Big Nick and let me tell you Price kick return was electric !

Gutsy win by ND. Looking like they may be tracking for another playoff appearance

good rivalry game

Went with my wife when I visited notre dame it rained but go Irish

@bignickmidwestblitz

Seeing this rivalry live at ND stadium is ELECTRIC It's a shame if they stop playing it as a home and home. Kick return by Price was BADASS ND too physical on the ground for Trojans as I expected. - The Midwest Blitz

Notre dame some how covered the spread after missing like a million field goals in the 4th quarter. Notre Dame better pray USC wins out after this going to be the only good team left to play before playing service academy’s and bad acc teams.

Gonna miss this game. Price kick return was crazy but expected. Defense did'nt lock in until the second half. Was Closer than I expected

Philadelphia, US

Notre Dame seems to do this every year. Suck at the start and be too good at the end to leave them out

Notre Dame get their 5th straight win after starting 0-2 and needed a 13-0 run after going down 24-21 in the third quarter

ND takes cares of the historic rivalry

@underwoodforheisman

I hate usc (now) AND notre dame, cool game tho

Classic Rivalry

@thecollegesportsguy

- Team Quality : (how good are the teams?) - Stakes (What are they playing for?) - Personality (How do these teams/cultures hate each other? Is it about more than just the game?) - Caliber of Game: (Is it a close game, is there dramatic memorable moments, does the game tell an engaging story?) Team Quality: (1.6/2): Notre Dame is elite, USC is fairly good, solid team quality. Stakes: (1.8/2): A possible CFP birth on the line, decently high stakes. A chance to end one of CFB’s most historic rivalries with a win. Personality: (3/3): There isn’t much hatred in this rivalry as I thought, but the tradition is absolutely off the charts, maybe the most tradition of any rivalry in college sports. There’s a beautiful story in here, and the fact that it would be the last time these 2 teams met is very sad, but adds so much meaning to this game. College Football is better when Notre Dame & USC play. Caliber of Game (2.2/3): A good game, USC hung in there, some good moments.
