The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are back home this week to take on their main rival, the USC Trojans. It’s the Battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh, and until the two universities come to an agreement… this is the last
scheduled game under the current contract.
This game is a lot better on paper than it was just a few weeks ago thanks to Notre Dame dominating its opponents, and USC taking Michigan to the woodshed last week. And as much as all of that matters to the race for the college football playoff, this is still NOTRE DAME VERSUS SOUTHERN CAL and this game was going to be lit no matter what.

When: Saturday, October 18 @ 7:30 PM EST
Where: Notre Dame Stadium, South Bend, Indiana
How to watch: NBC and Peacock
ODDS
