Irish - Trojan - Prediction

 

Well what do you expect... it's USC Week!

Will the Irish be overconfident?  Will they swagger into LA ready to paint the town green?  Will they be licking their chops over an injured Matt Barkley?

We here at the Station don’t think so.

Case(s) in point. 

**  Notre Dame has the best defense in college football.  Defenses win games, we have heard it all year and knew it anyway.  [Charlie Weis did not]  [Bob Davie did but lost his way]  [Ty Willingham didn’t know anything but his golf handicap]

**  Wearing the mantel of #1 for only a week will not give the Irish big heads.  We will worry about that next year after we beat Alabama.

**  Injury wise the Irish came out of the Wake Forest game with just typical bumps and bruises.  Wake Forest did not look like they could say the same.

**  The Team has memories of the Pitt trap, squeaking by Purdue, Michigan and Stanford.

**  The 2012 Team is not the 2011 Team that fumbled the ball through their legs for a USC touchdown.

**  This Team does not quit.

**  This Team did not like getting its’ face rubbed in the soft grass of Notre Dame Stadium last year by USC.

**  USC is a Paper Tiger.

**  Get up by a couple of scores and USC will roll over and quit.

Downside:  Sin City has the Irish 6 point favorites.  So much for the underdog role we're grown to love.

IRISH 27 – USC 9

Editors Note:  Near tragedy on USC campus

A USC player who had never ridden horses, was almost killed yesterday in a tragic horseback-riding accident.  He wanted to know what it was like to ride Traveller and decided to give it a go on a different horse. He fell from the horse and was nearly trampled to death.

Luckily, the manager of the Wal-Mart came out and unplugged the horse.
