Throwback Thursday: Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football VS USC, 1951

We’ve arrived at the second big game I’ve had circled on my calendar for months ... the Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs the USC Trojans. As we count down to kickoff, this week I’m going to throwback to the 1951 meeting between the two teams on December 1st, in Los Angeles, California.

Notre Dame and USC have met a total of 90 times, with Notre Dame winning 48, USC winning 37, and 5 tie games. Notre Dame’s largest margin of victory was 51-0 in 1966, and USC’s largest margin of victory was 38-0 in 2007. Notre Dame’s longest win streak is 11, from 1983-1993; and USC’s longest win streak is 7, from 2002-2009.
