Southern Cal @ No. 14 Notre Dame, 7:30, NBC -Notre Dame got a few playoff buzz early on with what appeared to be an impressive win over Georgia Tech before we realised Tech wasn’t that good. Beating USC isn’t going to do much to impress the committee, but it is still a good rivalry and a game Notre Dame can’t afford to lose. We didn’t make a tremendous amount of adjustments. Anything more than that is a little much for us right now. Anthony Miller led the Tigers with 10 catches for 132 yards and a touchdown.
