A look at how Notre Dame and USC stack up from a recruiting standpoint
Notre Dame and USC have comparable rosters in many ways, with each team holding key advantages. This is true from what we see on film and also when breaking down the recruiting classes.
From a pure recruiting standpoint, Notre Dame holds a huge advantage in the trenches. Notre Dame has three former Top 100 recruits in the starting lineup and four of its starters are former four-star recruits. If Notre Dame plays Billy Schrauth at left guard again in this game it will have a lineup made up entirely of former four-star recruits.
When you look at Notre Dame's starting lineup and depth the Irish offense far surpasses what USC has on defense.USC has four three-star recruits and another that wasn't ranked in its starting lineup. That is somewhat balanced out by the five-star players in quarterbackNotre Dame's defense also has four three-star recruits in the starting lineup. Notre Dame's lowest ranked starter on defense is, who ranked No. 635.
