Notre Dame football vs. USC Trojans: 3 Trojans who must be stopped

Drake London

When it comes to the USC offense, the hopes, and dreams of the team on that side of the ball rest in the strong right arm of Kedon Slovis. This is a guy who has been outstanding during his USC career, and while his 2021 statistics are not great, he is certainly someone to keep an eye on.

When it comes to Slovis, his main playmaker on the outside is Drake London, someone who can impact a game in so many ways. This is a kid who is averaging over ten receptions per game, already has over 800 receiving yards, and can take over a game at any time. If Notre Dame struggles to contain him, it could be a long day for this secondary.
