Notre Dame VS USC proved once again how tricky rivalry games can be

As the last of the fans were ushered off the field late after Notre Dame’s 30-27 win over the USC Trojans, I found myself staring at the jumbotron scoreboard and thinking about how this one almost got away.

Before you jump down to the comments to yell at me about being negative — this ain’t that post. In fact, I think the way Notre Dame eventually won this football game is a far more positive thing than many will give it credit for.

Notre Dame was an 11 point favorite, and the way the game lined up, it would have been weird to see it any other way.
