Very little has gone right for No. 10 USC Saturday evening against No. 21 Notre Dame.
The Trojans went down 24–3 in the first half, kicking a late field goal to trim the margin to 18 at the intermission. Quarterback Caleb Williams threw three interceptions in the worst half of his storied career. In a game where USC’s much-maligned defense rose to the occasion at times, its offense was dormant.
One play, however, summed up the Trojans’ futility.
