The Irish meanwhile, has won its last two contests over No. 14 Utah and archrivals Army by a combined 55-6, and hasn&#8217;t allowed a touchdown in 11 quarters.\u00a0 For the first time in a decade, Notre Dame will be going to a bowl while USC will not.   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmaker.ag\/?cmpid=14237_2222\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.bmaker.ag\/images\/Late_promos_240_400_0.gif?cmpid=14237_2222\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Trojan\u2019s offense will be without starting quarterback Matt Barkley who remains sidelined with an injury. Coach Lane Kiffin will go once again go with backup Mitch Mustain, who didn&#8217;t look good in relief last time out, completing 8 of 17 passes for 60 yards. USC has a lot of weapons in its arsenal, including receivers Robert Woods and Ronald Johnson and tailbacks Marc Tyler and Allen Bradford, but have failed to find a way to use them on a consistent basis.\u00a0 As a result, the Trojans numbers, especially in the win column, have fallen sharply in the past month.<\/p>\n<p>However, the problems don\u2019t just end with the offense. The defense is on pace to give up the most points in Trojan history.\u00a0 The Trojans have one of the nation\u2019s worst pass defenses and is dreadful holding opponents on third down. USC&#8217;s deliverance in this game is that Notre Dame has been just as inconsistent on offense this season as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Irish have however shown some life as of late, despite losing starting quarterback Dayne Crist to injury.\u00a0 Backup Tommy Rees has managed eight touchdowns in the last three games guiding his team to two consecutive victories.<\/p>\n<p>The running game has experienced the same set back after losing tailback Armando Allen, but sophomore Cierre Wood has shown he&#8217;s capable of shouldering the load.\u00a0If Notre Dame can score early, it will put some pressure on the USC offense to keep up, and could force the Trojans into some costly mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Miscues that will play right into the hands of a solid Irish defense who have been steadily improving as shown by holding its last two opponents to three points while holding teams to under 21 points, eight times this season. Linebacker Manti Te&#8217;o leads the group and will not want to be embarrassed as in recent years by USC.\u00a0 Look for Notre Dame to stack the box and\u00a0challenge Mustain to\u00a0beat them\u00a0through the air.<\/p>\n<p>The Irish has fallen to USC eight straight times and hasn&#8217;t won a game in the Coliseum since 2000.\u00a0 But all streaks must come to an end as the Irish topple Troy in this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Pick: USC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CHECK OUT OUR\u00a0<a href=\"\/forums\/college-football-betting\/\"><strong>College football betting forums<\/strong><\/a> today!
