Breaking down how Notre Dame performed in its keys to victory on defense in the win over USC
Notre Dame earned a much-needed victory over USC, and it did so in impressive fashion. The Irish blasted the Trojans by a score of 48-20, and the game was never really competitive, as Notre Dame led for over 55 minutes in the game.
Sacks are part of this breakdown, but even with the context of the pure running game the Irish defense thrived in this matchup. USC's running back duo of MarShawn Lloyd and Austin Jones combined for just 73 yards on 19 carries, including the Lloyd 31-yard touchdown run. That's just 3.8 yards per carry overall, and 2.3 yards per attempt on the other 18 runs outside of the Lloyd touchdown.
"Notre Dame needs to shut down the run game primarily with its defensive line. That unit must control action and dominate the USC blockers. If that happens it could also lead to that unit putting pressure on Williams, which is another key to success."
