Description

Notre Dame dominated USC in South Bend behind a relentless rushing attack, a physical offensive line, and a shutdown defensive performance from Chris Ash’s group that completely neutralized the Trojans’ offense. Tyler Wojciak is joined by Luke Smith for their weekly postgame segment to recap the rivalry win. Together, they give their boots-on-the-ground report from Notre Dame Stadium, then the two break down the three things they liked and didn’t like from the Irish victory — including Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price’s legacy performances, Adon Shuler and Drayk Bowen’s leadership on defense, Chris Ash’s creative adjustments, and lingering concerns with red-zone play-calling, special teams, and injuries.
