USC versus Notre Dame -Free Pick of the Day
Southern California comes into this contest against host Notre Dame with what many pundits consider, including myself,to be the most prolific scoring machine in NCAA history with QB Matt Leinhart slinging passes to a bevy of weapons that is making NFL agents and scouts drool. Leinhart loves to play against Notre Dame as is evidenced by his efforts over the last two seasons that has seen him smash the Irish sec-ondary completing 50 of 68 passes (74%) for 751 yards and nine touchdowns. Not a good omen for the Irish this week, considering the defensive secondary is still struggling and allowing an ugly 306 YPG.
I know that many prognosticators will say, that the Irish are no slouches offensively either, and have plenty of fire power behind the arm of Heisman candidate QB Brady Quinn who has completed 65% of his passes for 1621 yards and 13 TDs. But despite of his lofty numbers and the emotional factors and home field advantage that will back the Popes favorite team , I still feel they are outclassed here as is every other team the Trojans face.
Bottom line: USC after some close calls knows that they are only human, and can be beat. Look for the coaching staff and players to be focused this week as they treat this like a National Championship game. Final note: USC has outscored Irish 130 to 37 L/3 meetings. Play on USC minus the points
