I broke my iPhone so I haven't been on here in a week. It's nice to be back. as for this game I can see notre dame winning big. It's also nice to see Andrew Hendrix playing.

Tyler dislocated his shoulder, Marqise Lee separated his shoulder, and CB Anthony Brown broke his ankle. Lee says he will play against ND, not sure whether Tyler will play.

USC by 10

Line opens at Notre Dame -8.5.

If ND doesn't turn the ball over then they should win fairly easily. The offense is finally starting to open it up. USC won't have a running game against ND, and if they do it could be a long day. I mean Barkley is better than Cousins by a little bit, but I can't imagine he and Woods outpacing everybody on ND's offense when they are forced in to a one dimensional scheme.

He is better than Cousins (a fine QB in his own right) by more than "a little bit." It's probably a light-year or two. Barkley has NFL written all over him.

But yes you are exactly correct on the rest though.

I meant that from a purely situational perspective. I don't think it came out quite right though. Talent wise Barkley is top tier NFL prospect. But if you were to ask me who I'd rather see ND have to stop I would have a tougher time deciding between the two. I guess I should have used something more vague like passing game in comparing since that was more what I was referring to anyway.

I work third shift and am really considering calling off. Thing is they gave me the whole week off next week so I'm on the fence.

Chris Brown visiting unofficially is huge, as there was a lot of talk that his dad wanted him to stay home and go to South Carolina. He was also supposed to visit Va Tech (I think) but the family has now said he is taking no more visits other than this week to ND. Mom and Dad are coming with him so they can see it for themselves.

Well I believe he is still a HS junior, they can't take official visits. He can visit, but he/his family will have to pay for travel, etc.

Armstead is no longer a USC verbal.

My bad. Thought someone said it was an official.
