December 04, 2019 Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.17 Stanford & The Clay Helton Saga
The regular season is officially over. We start the podcast
by discussing Notre Dame’s victory over the Stanford Cardinal, insuring another
ten win season for the Fighting Irish. We talk about Brian Kelly’s tenure as
Notre Dame’s coach and his future. We also do some light recruiting talk. The Notre
Dame portion of the podcast is just an appetizer for the ongoing Clay Helton
saga at USC. Rumors are swirling that Clay Helton will remain the Trojans’
coach or that he will be fired. No one knows what to believe and the whole
situation as everyone frustrated.

November 25, 2019 Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.16 UCLA & Boston College
Another set of big wins for the USC Trojans and the Notre
Dame Fighting Irish, but off the field stories have both our attentions this
week. USC beat cross town rival UCLA on Saturday, and freshman phenom Kedon
Slovis broke the Trojan single game passing yard record. The victory bell may
be back at USC, but all anyone is talking about is will Clay Helton Keep his
job. We make the case first for why he should continue as the Trojans coach and
then why he should be fired. Over in South Bend Notre Dame made easy work of
Boston College. For the fans, the game was the least important Fighting Irish
football show on television, and all eyes were on the Notre Dame Fan Feed simulcast
on the NBC Sports network featuring Darius Walker, Daelin Hayes and internet
favorite Jessica Smetana. It seemed like a big hit, and brought all the problems
with NBC’s broadcast, again.

November 18, 2019 Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.15 Navy & Cal
Blowout victories for the USC Trojans and the Notre Dame
Fighting Irish have everyone in a good mood. We start with Notre Dame’s 32
point victory over Navy. The Midshipmen came into Notre Dame Stadium ranked,
but things got out of hand early. Everything went right for the Fighting Irish on
Saturday. Big plays on offense and defense have spirits high in South Bend. We
also get two stories from Greg’s football playing days. For the Trojans it’s
another fun offensive performance for Kedon Slovis and the USC offense.
Confidence it at a season high with the final game against cross town rival
UCLA coming up. We also talk about targeting
and the problems with replay.

November 11, 2019 Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.14 ASU and Duke
It was a good weekend for the podcast, with both the USC
Trojans and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish securing victories. We start the episode with everyone’s favorite
thing, parent talk and how our children affect the viewing experience. When we
get to the games, we lead with the Trojans and their nail biter against the
Arizona State Sun Devils. USC jumped out to a big early lead then fell flat for
the rest of the game. Even thought the Trojans won, this performance reflects
the current culture at USC and the Clay Helton era in general. Things were a
lot easier for the Fighting Irish and they easily handled the Duke Blue Devils.
Even in victory the Notre Dame fanbase is not happy and can always find reasons
to complain.

November 03, 2019 Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.13 Oregon & Virginia Tech
For all intents and purposes the season is over for both the
USC Trojans and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Tonight’s USC loss to the Oregon
Ducks was so important we felt another Saturday night podcast was in order. Not
only were the Trojans’ hoped of winning the PAC-12 South crushed tonight, but
this loss means Clay Helton’s tenure as the USC head coach is most likely over.
In addition to USC head coach speculation we talk about more terrible PAC-12 officiating,
Kedon Slovis, Trojan injuries and their impact on play calling and more destiny
talk. It’s not all Trojans tonight because Notre Dame had to fight to pull out
a very late 4th quarter comeback against Virginia Tech. For some
Irish fans winning isn’t enough and players need to be held to the Notre Dame
Standard, whatever that is. We also talk about how clutch Chase Claypool is,
the incredible hold on the game winning extra point, and of course Kyle
Hamilton.

October 27, 2019 Podcast: Tiltingground Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.12 Michigan Sadness & Colorado Joy
The USC Trojans has big fourth quarter comeback victory on
Friday, but everyone’s attention is focused on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish’s
crushing blowout defeat to the Michigan Wolverines. Emotions were running so
high we had to record the podcast right after the game Saturday night. Things
did not go well for the Irish. The Ann Arbor rain rendered the Notre Dame
offense was incompetent against Michigan’s defense. Irish quarterback Ian Book
was unable to do anything, and in a change from everything we’ve seen so far
this season the Notre Dame defense no showed against the Wolverines. We also
take stock of who has played well this season for the Fighting Irish and what
to expect for the rest of the season. To change the mood on the podcast we
shift our focus to USC’s victory at Colorado. True freshman Kedon Slovis looked
like a star leading a fourth quarter comeback for the Trojans. Clay Helton was
able to get a big road victory keeping dreams of a PAC-12 South title alive. We
can’t stay completely positive and do gripe about USC wasting their three star
receivers.

October 23, 2019 Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.11 Arizona Recap & Michigan Preview
The USC Trojans were victorious and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are coming off a bye week preparing for the Michigan Wolverines. It was homecoming over the weekend and USC dismantled the Arizona Wildcats. The game was fairly uneventful, except for all the injuries the Trojans suffered. As USC prepares for the Colorado Buffalo this Friday we go over who is still hurt and what to expect. Also, Michael’s annual reminder of the definition of the word destiny takes place this week. When we shift our attention to Notre Dame, Greg bristles with some opinions he has heard on other podcasts, and tells the story of the 2011 Michigan game. We then assess the Fighting Irish’s chances of victory this Sunday in the Big House, and what we could see from Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines.

October 14, 2019 Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.10 Rivalry Week Recap
Rivalry week is in the books, and the Notre Dame Fighting
Irish defeated the USC Trojans for the third consecutive year. Before we discuss the action on the field, we
discuss trying to watch the big game with kids in the house. As for the game, things
started off very rocky for the Trojans with the Irish jumping out to a big
halftime lead, but USC was able to make things interesting forcing Notre Dame
to hang on for the win. All of the Trojans’ recent problems raised their head
in this defeat, while the strong Irish defense was able to contain USC for most
the night. In addition to the teams playing on the field the PAC-12 referees
made sure everyone noticed them with inconsistent officiating.

October 10, 2019 Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.9 Rivalry Week
The most exciting weekend of the college football season is
finally here. The greatest intersectional rivalry in college football will
kickoff for the 91st time on Saturday. The USC Trojans travel to
South Bend to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. It’s been an up and down
season for the Trojans while the Fighting Irish are on a roll.
The odds from sportsbettingdime.com show that the Irish are 11 point
favorites over USC this weekend, which actually looks a little light based on
USC’s past performances on the road. The Trojans’ starting quarterbacks, Matt
Fink and Kedon Slovis, have combined for six picks in their two road setbacks
at BYU and Washington. If the Trojans forgo the air raid and plan to go
run-heavy, they may want to think again; Notre Dame is surrendering just 3.7
YPC and 147 YPG this season, and the Irish have covered all three home games to
date by an average of 8.8 points.
Spreads, stats and projections be damned this rivalry game
is always fun and is ripe for memories that will stay with fans forever; like
the recent 49-14 blowout or the famous Bush Push. The fight for the Jeweled
Shillelagh will be fun.

October 07, 2019 Podcast: Tiltingground Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.8 Week 6 Bowling Green
Only one of the teams we root for was on a bye this week,
however the scoreboard may disagree. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish defeated the
Bowling Green Falcons 52-0 this past weekend while the USC Trojans rested on
the bye week. Notre Dame looked very good in the victory, and when there is
such a lopsided game it’s hard to stay focused on the action on the field. We
talk about Fighting Irish fans, Kyle Hamilton, Brian Kelly, and the broadcast
team. Really we are just preparing for rivalry week, and our preview that will
come out later in the week.
