More Reaction To USC's Embarrassing Loss To The Irish

Plaschke's summation of the USC loss to ND on Saturday night...

It's even tougher when, for seemingly the first time in a decade, your USC team is not as tough or disciplined as the Irish, with USC gaining 35 fewer yards and committing seven more penalties and failing to mount the sort of consistent attack that has worn down nearly a decade worth of Domers.

Put it another way: In a battle of first-year coaches, Brian Kelly seems to give Notre Dame a lot more hope than Kiffin gives USC.
