Week eight of the college football season sees the USC Trojans and Notre Dame Fighting Irish playing the latest (and hopefully not the final) edition of their historic rivalry. If the Irish, with two losses, want to stay alive in the College Football Playoff race, they need a win to bolster their credentials. The Trojans are the only remaining team on the Irish schedule currently ranked.
The Trojans, who suffered a loss, are second in the FBS in total offense with 552 yards per game, and quarterback Jayden Maiava leads the nation with a 93.1 QBR this season and an average of 10.8 yards per attempt, most among quarterbacks with at least 100 passes thrown this season.
This year’s holy war between the Utah Utes and BYU Cougars is also in prime time. Since Kyle Whittingham’s first full season at Utah in 2005, 13 of 16 games against BYU have been decided by single digits.
