Trojans Need Sharp Darnold

The quarterback, who many projected as a Heisman candidate has thrown too many interceptions on the season. His 2,000 yards and 15 touchdowns are some of the best in the Pac-12, but he needs to limit the turnovers.

His top target has been Deontay Burnett. The receiver has caught 49 passes for 626 yards and 6 touchdowns. The Trojans passing game ranks in the Top 20 with just shy of 300 yards per game. The Trojans will play back to back road games, as they are at Arizona State next week.

Notre Dame has been able to move the ball offensively, and do the job defensively to win games. This should be an interesting game against the USC offense.

In the end though – the home team gets it done. Look for a great finish, but Notre Dame comes out on top and takes care of the small spread. When you are betting this game for Saturday – take the Notre Dame Fighting Irish -2 over the USC Trojans.
