Irish have back to back pass interference calls go against them and USC is able to get into range for their kicker to hit another FG. 21-16 Irish.
Well USC has their guy, Christian Gray, who they picked on a lot last year and are getting to him again this year 66 yd TD pass Gray beat badly. Then the 2pt conversion. Jadarian Price then returns the KO 100 yds for a TD. We miss the xtra point and it's 27-24
The whipping boy gets a pick and we drive down inside the redzone but stall out and then our kicker misses a FG, so we get nothing out of the turnover. 27-24 going to need another big series by the defense!
got that from the defense, SC ran a flea flicker and we force a fumble and recovery. Dang it ...boys you need to score off of this great play by the defense.
And they run it down the Trojans throat. When Love sees some daylight at the LOS, he turns into Usain Bolt. Amazing acceleration.
4th and inches for SC and they roll out and miss the pass...that's a turnover. Irish get the ball on their own side of the field!!
Too many games like this and I end up with another heart bypass! Defense was good and Love was GREAT!!!
It wasn't at all pretty but I'll gladly take the W (no flags at ND, Bobda, except for PI). For the first time this season, when USC pressured us and, as Knute once said, the breaks were against us, I saw a refuse to lose mindset that tells me we're really starting to get it. Carr endured a bad night and still engineered a win. Both O and D rose to the occasion when it counted. Love and Price were incredible. Way to go guys!
Nice win by the Irish. With all the losses by ranked teams yesterday they're certainly back in the playoff race. Of the remaining games, Pitt concerns me the most. I watched them beat up on FSU a couple of weeks ago. They will be tough at home. Nice to see the D get pressure on the QB. I think we had 3 sacks yesterday on a QB who had been sacked only 2 times in the first 6 games. Secondary has to be a little more subtile when interferring but at least they're close enough to get flagged. Nice job by the O line last night. Love and Price are explosive. We'll miss them next year but they should be high draft picks. Re Kelly: he's getting close to joining Franklin in spending his retirement counting his money.
