00:03 - Late night, out west.

00:05 We usually get a few crazy, under the covers,

00:10 wild Pac-12 games that you don't really know what happened

00:12 until you wake up the next morning.

00:14 I fell asleep at halftime, I'm not gonna lie to you.

00:16 And then to wake up and see 43-41 in three overtimes,

00:21 three overtimes it was,

00:22 here is USC getting the stop, Scotty,

00:25 2.30 a.m. East on ESPN.

00:29 Under center, they pitch it left, Williams goes down!

00:34 (crowd cheering)

00:37 And USC wins the game in triple overtime.

00:42 - Now listen, I had Arizona in '21, I was loving life,

00:47 but all that matters to me, that game was insane,

00:51 but this week they play Notre Dame.

00:54 And that's, isn't that right?

00:56 So it's at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday.

00:58 And I gotta tell you,

01:01 like, and I know you're gonna talk about Notre Dame

01:03 at some point here, losing to Louisville,

01:06 but honestly, you know, they beat Duke

01:09 on the last second touchdown,

01:10 then they got their ass beat by Louisville.

01:12 I don't know what to believe.

01:14 Are they, you know, just a little bit better than good?

01:19 I don't think they're much better

01:21 than a little bit better than good, Notre Dame.

01:23 I think USC's offense is legit.

01:26 They can score on anyone,

01:28 and that quarterback is better than Sam Hartman,

01:32 and that's just all there is to it.

01:34 But USC's defense is weak,

01:37 and Notre Dame's defense is not weak,

01:39 but they got rolled by Louisville.

01:41 I don't know what to think.

01:43 Do you think Notre Dame beats them at Notre Dame Stadium

01:46 and stops Caleb Williams?

01:47 I have my doubts.

01:49 - I personally don't see how Notre Dame

01:53 can score with them on Saturday night.

01:56 Now, yes, USC's defense is awful.

01:59 We've seen that the last few weeks,

02:00 whether it's this Arizona game, the Colorado game.

02:03 I mean, you can go on and on.

02:04 You could score on USC.

02:07 I don't trust the Irish.

02:09 I don't trust the head coach.

02:11 I don't think, I'm with you,

02:12 like I think they're a little bit better than good.

02:16 They're not great.

02:17 They blew their opportunity against Ohio State.

02:20 Maybe things are different if they win that game,

02:21 and the confidence is sky high.

02:23 They got their ass beat at Louisville on Saturday night.

02:26 Like they got their ass beat in that game.

02:28 - They got their ass beat.

02:29 - They just did.

02:29 - So if they lose,

02:31 if they lose, is their, like their season's a failure.

02:35 They've lost to Ohio State, Louisville, and USC,

02:39 and there's nothing left to gain

02:40 other than it was a lousy season.

02:42 And people are gonna start saying,

02:44 you know they are in South Bend, and nationally.

02:47 These Notre Dame fans are hostile.

02:49 They're gonna say, get rid of him.
