Notre Dame's defense delivered big plays against USC to clinch a CFP berth, silencing critics with a statement win.
Even in years when USC isn't nationally competitive, the Trojan program has lots of talent and athleticism that makes them quite dangerous to face off with.
USC was able to test Notre Dame in ways athletically that most, if not all, of the teams the Irish had beaten on their nine-game winning streak heading into this showdown were not capable of. Despite some frustrating plays and series, when it came down to crunch time, the heartbeat of the Irish program did what it's been doing all year.Christian Gray did not have a sparkling afternoon.
