From ESPN: With Notre Dame's 38-0 win over Wake Forest all wrapped up, the stands still full before the alma mater and everyone soaking in one last moment inside the building where the Irish went undefeated for the first time in 14 years, public address announcer Mike Collins went over the postgame itinerary for the final time this season:
Drive home safely, he said.
Thank your ushers, he recommended.
"And BEAT S-C!" he implored, drawing the biggest roar of the night.
Yes, it comes down to this for these Irish: beat the rival Trojans two days after Thanksgiving and lock up the first perfect Notre Dame regular season in 24 years.
"Definitely," receiver John Goodman said when asked if next week's opponent is fitting. "They're definitely a potent offense and pretty good defense, and that's something that we're going to have to game plan for. We're going to celebrate this win and take it all in with our families and everything, and then we're going to be fully focused on them, because one more game and things are going to work itself out."
The Irish don't control where they'll end up in the BCS standings. They need Kansas State or Oregon to fall to gain a national title berth. But a player like Goodman knows just how shocking it is to think that USC stands in Notre Dame's way next week, not the other way around. http://espn.go.com/blog/Notre-Dame-Football/post/_/id/11561/irish-stay-perfect-turn-attention-to-usc
USC got blown out by UCLA today, 38-28, but the game is at USC next week, but USC can play the role of spoilers.
My guess is that the Rose Bowl stadium is going be mostly green next week and tickets will go for hundreds of dollars.
Not bad for a school that has a physically challenged, drunk brawler and Amish looking rich white guy as it's mascot.
