Notre Dame tight end Mitchell Evans (88) jumps up to make a catch that would later be ruled incomplete during a NCAA college football game against Florida State at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024, in South Bend.

No. 5 Notre Dame will travel to Southern California on Saturday to face USC on CBS. This matchup will mark the 95th all-time meeting between the historic programs. Notre Dame and USC have played each other every season in football since 1926, except during World War ll (1943-45) and the COVID-19 shortened season in 2020.

Notre Dame's final drive of the first half against USC was a bit of nail-biter. The No. 5 Fighting Irish had to convert a fourth-and-one -- just barely -- before quarterback Riley Leonard found Eli Raridon for a 12-yard touchdown reception.

Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard is as much of a running threat as the running backs he shares a backfield with. Leonard gave the lead back to the No. 5 Fighting Irish as they take on the USC Trojans on the road.
