The Notre Dame Fighting Irish renew their rivalry with the Southern Cal Trojans in the 93rd meeting between the two schools and the first at the Los Angeles Coliseum since 2018. In three of their last five matchups in the rivalry, the Irish have been able to emerge with a win.
New Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley bolted from Oklahoma late last year to accept USC’s lucrative deal, coming after five seasons in which he compiled a 55-10 record. During that stint, he led the Sooners to four NCAA playoff appearances, though putting the Trojans into that realm may take a while.
