On October 22, 2011 the USC Trojans will visit Notre Dame to play the Fighting Irish for the 82nd meeting of this storied college football rivalry. Both teams are looking to make a big jump this season and a win here at this nationally televised game would be huge. Luckily, since this game will always be sold out, OnlineSeats has Notre Dame vs USC tickets for the best prices on the secondary ticket market.
Notre Dame and Coach Brian Kelly are hoping to finally turn things around this season. They have a talented running back in Cierre Wood and are hoping quarterback Tommy Rees is the answer after it became clear Dayne Crist was not. Wood is probably the best bet to earn accolades this 2011 college football season, but Rees is trying to get the ball to wide receiver Michael Floyd to at least give him a challenge. Just as the offense has a few issues to work out, so does the defense. Yes, the front seven should be solid, but the back four have yet to prove they can shut down the passing game.
On the other side of the line of scrimmage, the USC Trojans are playing season number two with Lane Kiffin as head coach. Kiffin enters his second season with a stud in quarterback Matt Barkley, a great group of wide receivers, and a deep pool of running backs. The defense is pinning its hopes to one of the country's best defensive lines. Trojans fans are desperate for a breakout season following the bad news regarding boosters and the great teams from earlier in the century.
