Schule's 10* NCAAF Afternoon Executioner - *EARLY START*
(NCAAF) Notre Dame vs. Southern Cal, 11/29/2014 10:30 AM, Score: 14 - 49
Point Spread: -6.50 | -110.00 Southern Cal (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the USC Trojans.

The Trojans are coming off a loss on the road against rivals UCLA, but they had won four of five prior to that. They will host Notre Dame Saturday, and the Irish have lost four of five. Their only win during that span came in a close game against Navy, and their defense has really struggled without senior linebacker Joe Schmidt. They've allowed at least 30 points in all of their last five games.

Injuries have continued to pile up for Notre Dame, who lost defensive lineman Jaron Jones and cornerback Cody Riggs in the loss to Louisville. You would have to expect this unit to struggle against a Trojans offense that has plenty of weapons.

Trojans QB Cody Kessler has had a very solid season, throwing for over 3,000 yards with 30 TDs and just four INTs. He's thrown for 17 TDs and just one pick while winning four of his five starts at home.

Everett Golson hasn't had nearly as much success protecting the football, throwing at least one pick in eight straight starts (13 total).

Take USC.
