Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Southern Cal Trojans
Saturday November 27, 2010 8:00 PM EST
Line: USC -4
Notre Dame has won 2 straight coming into their final game. They beat Army last week 27-3 against Army at Yankee Stadium. USC lost at Oregon State last weekend 36-7. Don’t expect USC to drop a goose egg in this one.
Stats to consider:
Notre Dame Fighting Irish:
- The Irish are 6-5.
- They are 1-1 on the road.
- Points against per game: 20.9 (33rd)
- Points for per game: 26.3 (69th)
- Passing yards a game: 267.3 (27th)
- Rushing yards a game: 118.5 (99th)
USC Trojans:
- USC is 7-4 with a 4-4 Pac-10 record.
- They are 3-2 on the road.
- Points against per game: 28.5 (78th)
- Points for per game: 32.6 (30th)
- Passing yards a game: 250.7 (35th)
- Rushing yards a game: 192.4 (26th)
What to watch for:
- Notre Dame Freshman QB Tommy Rees has thrown for 756 yards 8 TDs and 5 Ints. His main target has been Junior WR Michael Floyd who has 830 yards and 9 TDs.
- USC will be without Sophomore QB Matt Barkley in this game. Barkley has 2,593 yards 25 TDs and 10 Ints.
- USC will also be without Junior RB Marc Tyler who leads the team with 820 yards and 9 TDs.
Sports picks tend to focus on the health of a team. USC is extremely hurt coming into this game and will be without their starting QB and RB. They got thumped by a not very good Oregon State team last week on the road and will be looking for a great home finale. I like what Notre Dame has done of late, they stopped Army’s top 10 rushing attack and I would expect the same in this one.
