Notre Dame Football Finds Itself by Thrashing USC

Oh there you are, Notre Dame.

It’s been a long 22 years since the Fighting Irish offered a performance similar to what took place in South Bend last night (in 1995, Notre Dame beat then #5 USC 38-10). Notre Dame has won in blowouts since then, but not against highly touted opponents, and certainly not against their highly regarded rivals out West. The take away for me is not simply the outcome, but how it manifested itself. It was physical dominance, on both sides of the ball. It was a look back at the way things once were.
