It’s overly important to realize that USC is going into this game with the connotation that this it is.......... THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR BIG BOWL, OUR #1 “LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FIELD, type of game.” Remember, USC is going into this game SUPER LOOSELY GOOSEY, w/ absolutely nothing to lose. I can’t say the same for ND. Don’t ever estimate a team, playing at home with the ENTIRE WORLD WATCHING, you don’t think for a second USC is “chomping at the bit” to TOTALLY BLOW UP AND RUINE ND SEASON, do ya ?
