Just thinking back to the National Championship year of 1988. We played USC then at USC; Rodney Peete was touted as being invincible. As we, too, were undefeated, no way anyone was underestimating us. But we went in, followed a game plan, beat USC and then went on to an anti-climactic Fiesta Bowl game to win the national title.

Bottom line, we can beat USC at USC when the stakes are huge and USC is at its best. We just gotta believe… Plus a weaker schedule gives Charlie a chance to get his frosh and sophs–his recruits–some valuable game experience, to have them ready as well.

Go Irish!!!
