The "Bush Push" rivalry will see another installment this weekend as No. 13 Notre Dame will take on No. 20 USC, the first time these two teams have been ranked while playing each other in a while. This could be one of the last times these two teams face off, with one more game in 2026 for a while, as well, with USC not trying very hard to renew a game contract.

All of that aside, USC got some tough news from their running back room with Waymond Jordan out for at least four to six weeks and fellow running back Eli Sanders out for the season.
