I don't think that I'll ever get tired of watching this year's game. Complete domination over USC- beautiful!

[@donaldwilson8163]

Loved it!

[@sandramiller1988]

And it’s so rare when you beat them!😂

[@treycastanon6296]

Actually, Notre Dame leads the series 49-37 and they've won 7 out of the last 10. Try again bud@@sandramiller1988

[@marlenaelias398]

If only we had better announcers. 😊

[@immoraldiscipline]

@@marlenaelias398 Yes, having announcers that we're not laughing at would definitely be a plus.

[@A_Fool]

Absolute domination. If Notre Dame's offense could match its defense, it would really be something (they need to fix not being able to convert on 3rd down).

[@demotheses]

It’s more about setting them up for success rather than runs and short passes on first and second down. Hartman is the best at downfield passes but they only let him throw a few each game.

[@richardjordan6718]

Beating USC is a must.Dominating them is icing on a damn good cake!Go Irish!

Go Irish! A win over the Trojans is always sweet. Nice to see Joe Montana. I remember him very well at ND.

Took my time watching this one!!! Sweet victory off an old time Foe! I know, because I go back to the 60's in watching this rivalry!!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@DCSk8er529]

The game Xavier Watts won the Bronco Nagurski award.

[@alcoholfree6381]

At 1:57:15 USC has just scored a TD and the announcers are figuring out how USC can come back and eventually win the ball game. They had mentioned how in one “iconic game”, USC had trailed 24-0 at halftime. In the second half USC scored 55 points winning the game 55-24! I would call that a nightmare! GO IRISH WIN!!

[@frankcabanski9409]

Great win we just need that every week

[@pbpunisher99]

I had to watch this again with all the hype of Caleb at the combine. I did not watch Sam and the OL singing before. I wish I hadn't now lol!

[@alcoholfree6381]

I’m from Oregon, home of the Ducks and Beavers, and we have always had trouble with the Trojans! Kind of nemesis level opposition. I’m also Catholic and love the Notre Dame Fighting Irish ☘️! Growing up Notre Dame frequently ended up on TV. They were like the “America’s Team”, like the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL? No, they were like the Catholic National Team. It was great that they were independent for so long; I wish they still were. They have a great new coach and the enthusiasm of the team was a pleasure to watch. I do NOT like how the teams are allowed to push the ball carrier. In the past I kind of recall that was NOT allowed and came close to deciding a ND-USC game? So I was super happy to see ND prevail in this high level game! GO IRISH ☘️ WIN THEM ALL!! It was closer than the score suggests.

[@JustinNDTrollSniper]

ND is still independent

[@demotheses]

This is dope

[@rossrreyes]

USC bullied and Knocked OUT 💪🏼

[@imsooffended6860]

Instant classic

[@Nigelrathbone1]

That last touchdown demonstrated the double-edged sword of using the stiff arm where you really don't need another turnover from a forced fumble.

[@fload46d]

Bet Joe MOntana and Brady Quinn really enjoyed this. (Oh, and I almost forgot Jerome Bettis) Go Irish! (and wasn't it usually Jerry Rice and Joe Montana?)

[@8avexp]

When Joe was at ND, his favorite target was TE Ken MacAfee. Too bad Terry Hanratty and Joe Theismann weren't there.

[@lynnerose7891]

Rice went to Mississippi Valley State

[@AngeloJustice]

Nice! ☘️😎💪🏼

[@WooRidersDg]

I NOTICED ZEKE CORRELL GETS PUSHED OFF THE BALL ALOT LIKE ALMOST EVERY PLAY

[@timparker5246]

When the Irish go to USC they usually lose and when USC comes to South Bend they usually lose...it doesn't always happen that way but it seems to tilt that way. Both are great football powerhouses.

[@edszewczyk]

At the end of the second Watts interception, #79 for Southern Cal hit him late after he was out of bounds & led with the crown of his helmet to cause helmet on helmet contact. Why was no penalty called?

[@BrockFalzaranoishim]

Can't wait to see riley leonard cook USC

[@mt-vs2oc]

Doesn’t USC not like being called Southern Cal lmao

[@ericswope8314]

Growing up in Los Angeles in a UCLA family until 1973 when I began rooting for ND, I’ve always understood that USC doesn’t mind being called either, that more about how their opponents label them. With UCLA it’s USC and Notre Dame it’s Southern Cal.

[@robertcampos3025]

* Notre lame got eliminated by Kentucky 😂

[@ericswope8314]

In the 1st Quarter with 3:43 to go, is it just me or are the refs trying to help SC ? Like always.

At 27:54 the usc men cheerleaders , lmao get on your skirts you back up players and pick up your Pom poms 😂

[@jimmykelly4138]

Love after Caleb first pick, he tried to tackle watts 😂then he does a fake spin like he was late hit hoping like hell for a flag, he should put on a skirt at that point and become a cheerleader because he will get sacked 6 times and toss two more easy picks, lmao

[@nobodybutme2]

A lot of nerve calling CW the best player in the country after that beat down.

[@AndyTN64]

Busted written all over

[@Robotron2084psn]

@32:12 FALSE START

[@donaldwilson8163]

The problem is: Notre Dame just showed everybody else how to beat USC, and that will be a problem for USC for the rest of the season, wait and see.

[@donaldwilson8163]

I TOLD YOU SO! How many games did USC lose after the Notre Dame game! They provided everyone with the formula on how to beat USC and everybody followed that script. No repeat Heisman for Williams this year.

[@Anthony-bz3uo]

NCAA officials are a joke. They tried SO HARD to help USC win this game. Some of the most biased officiating I've seen in a while. I kept waiting for the refs to put on USC jerseys. Unprofessional clowns

[@michaelpacak3401]

OUTSIDE OF A NATIONAL TITLE, THIS DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER, IRISH FOREVER, ALSO, CAN'T WAIT UNTIL JASON GARRETT DOESN'T CALL ANOTHER ND EVER, HE IS GOD AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mariomalbano2718]

One thing that should be addressed is our special teams. We seem not to be close to blocking punts anymore! Our blocking on punts just isn't consistent! When we are receiving punts, we are happy with making fair catches! I love the Irish. However, we miss Brian Polian, and it shows.

[@tonyevans63]

Brian Polian wasn't very good. I think you mean Brian Mason. Mason was Notre Dame's special teams coach last year, where we almost broke the record for blocked punts in a full season. We led the nation with 7 blocked punts in the 2022 season and came close to blocking many more. So far in 2023, we haven't blocked one single punt yet. Not to mention, with all those blocked punts and aggressive schemes coming after the punter last year, we didn't even have one running or roughing the kicker or punter penalty last year, where we already have one this season and we haven't even blocked one punt this year. Brian Mason is a great special teams coach and we all miss him. Unfortunately, his dream job called and was the only job that I think he said he would leave for, the Indianapolis Colts hired him for the 2023 season. Those blocked punts last year were difference makers and if we still had Mason this year, those might be the difference of being 6-2 and an undefeated season this year. Go Irish! God Bless!!

[@smedleybutler8787]

Joe Montana and Emmitt Smith had a baby it would be Caleb Williams

[@immoraldiscipline]

I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't catch either of them painting their fingernails.

[@lynnerose7891]

Huh? Caleb isn’t 1/8 the QB Joe was. And he can’t run like Smith. Yikes.

[@robertcampos3025]

This game will always go the way. We beat ND in LA last year so good....now they beat us in sb good. We will beat them in LA next year fight on.... I'm glad their season is over....while USC still has a lot to play pac 12 conference

[@immoraldiscipline]

I'm not sure where you're getting your information. We have actually beat USC 7 out of the last 10 times that we have played you. Good luck with the rest of your schedule, you're going to need it. Whine On!

[@notredameandcoltsfan]

How do you know?

[@Universalknowledge13]

Not any more. 😂 ND exposed USC. And Utah, a team that USC should've beaten in all rights.... Pulls through. Solidifying the end of USCs dreams. 😂

[@lynnerose7891]

ND went unbeaten vs USC FOR TEN YEARS. USC beat ND for almost a decade as well. It never goes that way. Ever. Now ND was gone 7-3 vs USC the last decade.

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Did anyone notice these were really good announcers, particularly color announcer?

[@lynnerose7891]

Hilarious ppl thinks he’s a #1 draft pick when they don’t run RPO or any types of option offenses. Plus he can NOT read defenses nor lead. 1-5 last six games and ppl think he’s a top 5 pick? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mrscanlon6214]

whats with all these f-ing commercials??

[@user-ci6nm7eo1q]

Weeelllllllll look, the reason why I think this game was FIXED, is cause Notre Daaaaammmme can't possibly be so good that the other team plays the whole game not doing one single thing offensively, when they R as good a team as the Trojans with Calib Williams, he played the game like he had to hold back.

[@methinnk2.063]

The whitest black coach I know

[@robertcampos3025]

Notre lame are like Chicago cubs or Chicago bears they only win games all the hype for nothing. Maybe join a conference get more respect.... meanwhile enjoy the rest of the season since your season was over by Kentucky lol😢😂
