The Notre Dame Fighting Irish showed up to play football in Los Angles against the USC Trojans, but showing a little fight wasn’t enough for Notre Dame as they lose to the Trojans SCORE and hand back the Jeweled Shillelagh.
Many wondered if the team would just pack it in against Southern Cal with the outcome virtually having no meaning at all. Brian Kelly’s seat at Notre Dame is on fire and rumors of a boat coming to South Bend to put out the fire as well as no hopes for a bowl game- it all pointed towards a blowout.
