Notre Dame got a huge win in the rivalry matchup against USC on Saturday night, leaving Trojans coach Lincoln Riley feeling defeated after the 34-24 loss.
Some very costly fourth quarter mistakes sealed the loss for USC. Rceiver Makai Lemon fumbled to set up Notre Dame for a touchdown to take a 10-point lead, and then later Jayden Maiava threw his second interception of the game on the Trojans' last drive of the contest. USC just couldn't recover from those mistakes, and Riley acknowledged that the Trojans have to accept what went wrong and make sure these mistakes don't happen again in important games.
