A few USC fans in a sports bar in Costa Mesa were having flashbacks. The last player they’d seen do anything like what cornerback Adoree’ Jackson was doing to Notre Dame on Saturday — three touchdowns, on a punt return, a kickoff return and after a reception — was Anthony Davis.
And Anthony Davis was at the bar.
“If Adoree’ could’ve brought back one more kick like you did in ’72, it would’ve been like what you did,” they told him.
Davis laughed as he recalled the conversation.
“Yeah, he’s in the neighborhood, and he did great,” Davis said of Jackson.
