Scouting Report - USC Defense

According to S&P+, Notre Dame has faced two top-10 defenses already this season in Georgia and Michigan State. They fared well against Sparty, not so great against the Bulldogs. This week they are facing a defense that is probably a couple tiers removed from those two in USC. They are ranked 31st in S&P+, which makes a ton of sense if you’ve watched any of this USC defense this fall.

They are very good in a couple of areas, one of which is Havoc Rate. They are at 19.
