Notre Dame-USC final thoughts: Jeremiyah Love’s greatness, fake punt mastery
USC basically doubled the season averages Notre Dame allowed in first downs (16.4 per game) and yards per carry (3.74). Scoring was essentially tripled (13.6 points per game). And yet, Notre Dame still won the game with defense when Christian Gray and Xavier Watts went back-to-back with pick-sixes that covered 199 yards.
