Game Notebook: Notre Dame 31, USC 16
Matt Cashore-USA TODAY Sports The Notre Dame Fighting Irish continued their dominance over the USC Trojans on the Brian Kelly era with a 31-16 victory on a crisp night in South Bend.
Put it on the back of Kyren Williams
Running back Chris Tyree was out against USC as he is still trying to come back from a turf toe injury. This meant that Kyren Williams was going to see even more carries than normal and was going to need to be a big part of the offensive plan. Kyren answered the bell with a 25 carry night that racked up 138 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also caught 6 passes on 6 targets for 42 yards — he even fair caught a punt for a total of 32 touches on the night.
He was a workhorse.
