The Notre Dame football team has a tall task in front of it despite the fact that the USC Trojans are just 6-5 on the season. A deeper look at the team tells the tale of a squad that could have three or four more wins if things had broken just a little better.

There are some players the team is definitely going to have to watch out for, especially as some guys seem to have finally found their footing at the end of the season. And interestingly, some of the team leaders aren’t even starting anymore (looking at you Miller Moss).

The Notre Dame football team will, above all else, prepare for an offense that can hurt opponents through the air and on the ground. USC’s passing defense is not great, but the Trojans have shown an ability to get big stops.
