I think awful is a little too harsh.
I think this will be a close game, I choose ND in my week 7 picks. I think Claussen will have a great game against USC. I think this will be a shootout.
Like with Ohio State earlier, if ND can't get it done now, they never will.

SC isn't Purdue, Michigan State or Washington. In other words, they better the first half, or it'll be over by halftime.

Yeah, USC isn't Washington, but Washington beat USC. For some reason that loss doesn't even count for USC it would appear.
Anyway, outside of Texas in 2005 Championship, I have have never seen Pixie Pete lose a game that he wanted to win. He always has a brain fart against a team that he should beat by 5 TD's, but when USC is focused, they don't lose.
With Michael Floyd, ND would have had a chance of putting some points on the board, but I am sure USC will take Tate outt of the game.
ND's only hope is that the Defense can rise up and stifle USC like Washington did. I can't see ND scoring more than 17 points on USC, 24 if they get some breaks and turnovers.

I haven't forgotten that game. You know what else I didn't forget? USC played without Barkley, Mays, RJ and I believe their center. And Corp is absolutely garbage.

Anyone that's not very good has a chance against USC. This is the team that loses to teams like Stanford and beats the best of the best. Given that I don't think Notre Dame is very good, they have a chance.
That said, USC will almost assuredly win and probably win handily.
