Pick The Score

OK, I made my game prediction. Now it’s your turn. This is big game. It could go either way. And both teams have a shot at the College Football Playoff.

    • Yes, I believe that Darnold and the receivers will come out and win the game. I believe the Jones will run for 150 yards and three tds. Fight On

      • Ya but what about the Notre Dame (“4” Healthy Senior Offensive Lineman) Running game = #5 in the Country ???

        RealityOn

        • I think sc is quicker than the 4 linemen. But if nd just starts to run and sc is being pushed back, then Pendergast will have to commit more to the box

  1. The most difficult score prediction in my life…

    Well let’s see, Offensive Line decimated, ditto Defensive Line (Including Predator Linebacker/Defensive End), 1 reliable Running Back, Sam Darnold ???

    Wing and a Prayer !

    Before a score, let’s move this current State-of-Team to Notre Dame, Alabama, Ohio State, etc… and watch them get [ CRUSHED ] against their Rival, home or on the road !!!!!!!

    Georgia their Running game, USC 31 – Notre Dame 23 !

    No Georgia their Running game, with injury riddled team, which = Not-a-fair-Game, Notre Dame 41, USC 24 !!

    PrayOn

  2. USC 31-20, but an unexpected TD (Defense, Special Teams, etc.) at end for us.

    Our scoring D surprises (we give up yards but not too many points) and the O continues to flounder (Yes, 24 points for us is floundering — just like us scoring only 38 against the Beavers is pathetic!)

  3. If Notre Dame doesn’t “Stanford” us and hold the ball for 40+ minutes, we’ll be fine. I think the injuries in the Defensive Front 7 will be a problem. ND 24 USC 13 🙁

  4. 38-16? I don’t think so. SC has a lot of injuries but they will play better than that. Wolfie might be right about who wins but not the score. I don’t know who is going to win this game because I’m not sure which SC team will show up. Is it going to be the chumps who played in the 1st half of the Utah game or the champs who played in the 2nd half? If SC plays the way they played against Stanford, SC will win, even in South Bend. If they have no rhythm on offense like most of the rest of the games, they’ll get beat. But not 38-16!

  5. USC 38 ND 21 Seems like it will be a slugfest but USC scores early and ND has to come out of their game plan. Kelly gets outraged and it ruins his day as USC defense has two picks to ice the game. Sam throws 325 yards, Rojo gains 124 and scores two.

  6. 38-31 USC…..Nobody in press giving Trojans love. Sea of Green ,no respect…Trojans will motivate, play their best game. Late ND touchdown (bad ref call)will make it closer than score. SW will still say Helton job on line for burning a receivers red shirt.

    • I like your score and outcome. Bad calls for sure. There will be at least 2 turnovers per team. The team that takes it for a score wins this. Could very well be the game of the regular season in all of college football. You can always count on Wolf finding the negative.

      • Have this feeling that Sam and receivers will have big game. First half will be similar to Stanford game. Second half will come with big surprises that favor USC.Believe you are right about turnovers. Think biggest factor for us will be underdog, play loose ,prove the doubters wrong.

        • Fred give it a rest. No one’s biting. Everyone knows the league refs suck and they have screwed USC over several times this season and the past is littered with bogus calls. Just last week the refs penalized the Utes along for an easy score.
          But no matter what our league refs do, it is nothing compared to the way things are handled by the “independent” refs in South Bend.

  7. i gotta go with you on this one, wolfman. the Rudy’s are looking to make a statement.

    the one-man-band that is trOXan football is due for some exposure.

    #TenFumblesReally???

  8. Flow: Riddle me this…How can a game that you predicted would heavily favor notre dame 38-17 be a game that “could go either way?”

    Stay out of it, Chaz Beefcake…

    • ….Because Scott got all the hits he needed offa his “my Prediction” post —-and he’s cleverly walking that prediction back now. There’s no way Scott wants to hear about that 38-17 prediction all night Saturday after the game.

      • Well I hope USC sticks it to Flow’s prediction with a solid W performance tomorrow night. Fight On. Like mentioned above…another Washington 2016 performance tomorrrow?

        • To win this, we need upperclassmen (which for us is sophomores and juniors) to lead on the field. I can’t tell you how happy I am that Daniel Imatorbhebhe, Cam Smith, Rojo, Chuma Edoga and Rasheem Green are all healthy (more or less) for this one. We need them to keep the freshman pumped up no matter what is happening on the field. If we stay poised, we do win! Same as Washington 2016!

          • Yeah, ya gotta love Cam. He fights from the opening bell. Another 16 tackle game should take us a long way!
            #FightOn,04Trojan!

          • Actually 04, Pili is the key. If he does his job right (taking a double team and holding a gap), it frees Cam up and allows him to scrape and fill. Pili has done extremely well last two weeks in relief, hopefully he brings it again and Cam make 16 tackles again.

      • All power to the soviets!

        We have the team and the QB to dominate this game – question – does Helton have the skill to unleash this team’s prowess?

        • I believe as you do, our skill and strength will win out. Helton so far has gotten the better of Petersen, Franklin, Herman, the furd coach, the chimp, Whittingham and Kelly once prior. Let’s hope the formula’s still intact.

          • I’m seeking the same for:

            1. inner city denizens,
            2nd ‘a vaccine’,
            3rd Benjamin …, and
            4th a ‘boomer sooner’ aka a ‘sod buster’ .

            Understand sports fans – the rest of the USA loathes LA because they all wish they were LA. And the reason ‘naw yawk’ hates us is we didn’t ‘get in line’ the way Chicago, Philly Detroit. Baltimore, DC….did paying homage to that corrupt trash can – understand said trash can is where the vast majority of the ‘harp’ ‘alcoholics’ fan base hails from.

            I loathed the dodgers but ‘fill in the blank’ ‘naw yawk’!

  9. ND 38 SC 24. It is what it is. Too many key injuries, bye week for them, and quite frankly, they are playing very well.

  10. I predict, I predict, that no one has gotten it right as to what will happen tomorrow. Which is what makes sports viewing so much fun.

    Still, I predict that SC’s passing attack is superior to ND’s running attack.

    So there!

  11. Defense, be great on first down and you’ll own third down. Own third down and you’ll own the Irish. Wimbush will look to run in passing situations and he’ll kill you with his legs if you let him. Make history tomorrow, Trojans.

      • That’s just going to depend on how CP defends them. I think we’ll have a lot of guys near the line of scrimmage and it’s a matter of playing disciplined defense, minding the gaps and being aware. Hopefully we can keep them in passing situations while containing him and forcing him to make mistakes. I want to see ND have to throw it to win, being aware that Wimbush’s rushing yards count too.

        • I really can’t wait to see how this plays out —if the defense can limit the number of long runs (to one or two), and Sam plays without nerves (he almost seems to need a counselor/mystic by his side the day of a game), our chances go through the roof.

          • I think we need to up the tempo on offense and have faith that we can sustain drives. You can give the defense a blow by converting first downs instead of slowing down the pace and letting their defense rest.

          • Well, in any event, Clay —it’s here! My bet is that we play well and do ourselves proud. I am very glad Daniel Imatorbhebhe is back —his presence seems to both calm and inspire Sam (players themselves have commented on that). I think Sam just feels a special bond with the equally strong willed
            Imatorbhebhe —and admires his nerves of steel. Daniel somehow has made friends with fear —– fear is not his enemy. The whole team can feed off that attitude today.

  12. Darnold won’t give in to those cheaten’ leprechauns and will perseveve, USC 31 ND 27

    • That leprechaun mascot, plus the memory of Lou Holtz, puts the Domers over the top as most disliked team

      • Lou Holtz = HUGE ahole Pres Dump supporter, like Dump supporter usc alums on this blog.

        #YouGotItHanded2U

    • Hilarious!!! A Toejam calling ND cheaters. look in the mirror Bro. FBI-FBI-FBI among many others. OJ1, OJ2 to name a few

      • ND takes ‘home field advantage’ to the next level. You should probably just own the cheaten’, it’s out there. Ask Desmond Reed if ND takes advantage of playing at home. You mean OJ, the ‘Catholic Killer’, you never beat The Juice

  13. 70-0 USC. Sam throws for 5, Jones runs for 3, Ajene returns 2. I just it would balance out wolfies prediction. Fight on!!!!

  14. well, with the injury list looking like the depth chart for SC and in particular Josh Fatu out, SC barely wins, like vs Penn st in last years Rose Bowl

      • During their streak against SC back in the 80s and 90s, I came to really dislike them. I used to say to myself, I don’t care if SC loses every game except two of them. Can’t wait, Pud, can’t wait.

        • Don’t care about any game like I do about this one..every year, no matter the records, I can’t stand these guys.

          F’ da leprechaun.

          Beat the irish!
