USC wins 34-27.

What does this say for USC? Or even Notre Dame?

USC was upset by Washington just a few weeks ago, and by the looks of things, Notre Dame gave them a run for their money as well. So is this just an ugly season for USC, or is Notre Dame a little bit better than we give them credit for? Clausen had 3 TDs today, two in the air, one on the ground, with no interceptions thrown. Not too shabby. On the flipside, he went 24 for 43 - those are a lot of incompletions.

I must say I'm impressed with the Irish, but still have lots of question marks surrounding USC at this point.
