Considering Notre Dame only beat Duke on the last play of the game and lost to Louisville, it’s a good thing USC is joining the Big 10 and not the ACC.

The South Bend debacle, while disappointing, was predictable. The idea Lincoln Riley and a generational quarterback could instantly transform a 4-8 program largely devoid of talent into a national title contender is completely irrational. A fresh coat of paint on a house with a leaky roof and rotten foundation does not magically turn a fixer upper into a mansion.

USC football fans seemed to be surprised by a Lincoln Riley-coached team. He’s a good offensive-minded coach, but seems to have no interest in having good defenses and special teams. Great coaches key on all three phases.
