USC football team gets 'back to the drawing board' ahead of Notre Dame game

USC players and coaches spent two days apart, working through the fallout of an upset loss against Washington.

On Sunday, the Trojans reconvene for meetings and practice as they attempt to move forward from potential crisis.

USC, 3-2 overall and 1-2 in the Pac-12 Conference, travels to Notre Dame this week for the 87th game in the intersectional rivalry.

"Like I say every week," linebacker Su'a Cravens said after the 17-12 defeat by Washington on Thursday, "back to the drawing board and see what happens."

Last season, USC blew out injury-depleted Notre Dame, 49-14, at the Coliseum.
