Instant Reaction: USC 45 - Notre Dame 27

USC's final scoring drive of the game summed up the Notre Dame season perfectly.

After Nicco Fertitta delivered a big hit on the USC running back, the ball was fumbled and recovered by the Irish. The play was reviewed and the call was upheld.

But then the inevitable happened. The hit was reviewed by replay after that initial review. It was (correctly) called targeting and Fertitta was ejected from the game. USC was given the ball back on 1st goal.
