00:04 USC's defense is going through the same exact thing that Notre Dame's offense is

00:07 going through right now.

00:08 They are reeling.

00:09 They can't stop anybody right now.

00:13 I mean, and I talked about this in the show yesterday, Ryan, and

00:16 it's absolutely fascinating.

00:17 As bad as USC's defense has been,

00:20 it's even worse when you look at it in context of who they've played.

00:25 They have one of the worst scoring defenses in college football, but

00:28 they've played the number 41, 67, 75, 119, 124, and

00:33 131 scoring offenses in college football.

00:36 They rank in the one-teens in total defense.

00:39 They've played the number 32, 50, 84, 102, 105, and 129 scoring offenses.

00:46 Their rush defense isn't very good this year.

00:49 They've given up, they've played against the number 59, 75, 99, 117, 127, and

00:54 129 rushing offenses this year, right?

00:58 And so it's kinda like they're reeling.

01:02 You let them make some early stops.

01:04 You turn the ball over early in the game.

01:07 You let them get off the field and get to the ball of their offense.

01:10 And all of a sudden, that unit that's struggling is now hyped up.

01:16 Where what we just said about the concerns about the Notre Dame offense and

01:21 them losing confidence, if Notre Dame starts fast,

01:24 the same exact thing happens to the USC defense.
