The Streak Must Come to an End Saturday!
This is a shocking fact...
Bob Davie is the last Notre Dame coach to beat USC in Notre Dame Stadium -- back in 2001 -- when the IRISH beat the Trojans 27 - 16. Tyrone Willingham lost his only home game to USC and Charlie Weis was 0 for 3 against the Trojans inside Notre Dame Stadium.
Coach Kelly is 2 - 1 versus USC, but the loss came at home. That's five losses in a row...
It's time we change things inside the "house that Rock built!"

NCAA Eligibility Standards -- Game Changer?
The folks at NCAA headquarters have decided to "up the ante" on academics for high school student-athletes who want to receive a college scholarship...

Know Thy Opponent: USC's Haden on Orgeron
The interim head football coach of the USC Trojans -- Ed Orgeron will be auditioning again for the full-time gig this Saturday night in prime time at Notre Dame Stadium.
Orgeron's record is now 11 - 25 as a head coach.
We should expect a Trojan team to show up fired up to play -- as I suspect Orgeron will need to beat the IRISH to have any chance at getting this job full-time. Here's what former NBC analyst for Notre Dame football -- turned athletic director -- Pat Haden says about his coaching situation.
