The 2012 season is not over. USC still has one more formidable opponent coming to town on Saturday, No. 1 Notre Dame. The Trojans have a chance to upset their rival and dash the Irish's national championship dreams.
After losing the Pac-12 South title to UCLA, it may be difficult for USC to remain focused on the last game of the season. The Trojans currently stand at 7-4 overall and 5-4 in conference.
"We're going to take on Notre Dame. They are our next opponent," said wide receiver Robert Woods. "We're going to take them down and keep them out of the National Championship game."
USC must be able to bounce back quickly in order to prepare for the contest against Notre Dame. The rivalry between both schools is arguably one of the best in college football and will bring out the fight in USC.
"There is a lot to play for," said linebacker Hayes Pullard. "We need to prep as hard as we can because we have number one ranked Notre Dame coming in. It's still a rivalry week and we can't lay down after that loss."
The Trojans will aim to spoil the perfect season of the Fighting Irish and have the luxury of playing at home in the Coliseum. "It is a big game for us," Pullard said. "We try to treat every game as if it were the Super Bowl, just like how everyone treats us as a Super Bowl game."
