Its official the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans played their first games of the season over the holiday weekend, and both teams secured victories. We start this episode, right after Notre Dames’ Labor Day victory over the Louisville Cardinals. Things began shaky for the Fighting Irish, but adjustments were made and the victory was sealed. The Notre Dame secondary looked good, including the debut of freshman Kyle Hamilton, but the offense lacked something. The USC Trojans on the other hand dealt with a completely different set of problems when they faced off against the Fresno State Bulldogs. Graham Harrell’s air raid offense had mixed results, but a season ending injury to Trojan starting quarterback JT Daniels really got in the way of the offensive game plan. However, after the injury to Daniels the USC running backs looked more than capable of carrying the load. Even though it’s a new season for the Trojans, this looked like a continuation of last year’s dismal results.
