MAJOR NEWS: USC vs Notre Dame Is Back On The Schedule

The USC Trojans helped reignite college football’s greatest rivalry with a four-year series against Notre Dame, set to resume in 2030. Can the Trojans turn early-season clashes with the Fighting Irish into a playoff advantage—or will tradition clash with evolving postseason stakes? Key questions swirl as both teams balance rivalry history with the growing impact of Big Ten scheduling and playoff expansion. Marc Kulkin offers insider coverage from USC Media Day, spotlighting Lincoln Riley’s strategy, the impact of Gary Patterson’s old-school toughness on player development, and standout talents like Elijah Paige and Hayden Treter. The conversation focused on how roster maturity, competition for key positions, and coaching philosophy are reshaping the Trojans. Key topics include non-conference scheduling drama, insights from assistant coaches, and why discipline and mental toughness could set USC apart in the upcoming college football landscape. #USC #USCFootball #PennStateFootball #USCTrojans #oregonfootball, #JaydenMaiava #LincolnRiley #collegefootball #BigTenfootball #kingmiller #sec #notredame Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
