Highlights from the Jeweled Shillelagh Rivalry are presented by @DIRECTV.
The University of Notre Dame football team (11-1) outlasted Southern Cal (6-6) 49-35 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to win its 10th game in a row and put the program in strong position to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff. A back-and-forth battle in the Greatest Intersectional Rivalry in college football was punctuated by two huge plays by the Notre Dame defense late in the game.
Sophomore cornerback Christian Gray, who battled with the talented Trojan receiver group all afternoon, picked off a pass at the one-yard line and returned it 99 yards to put his team ahead 42-28 with 3:39 remaining. Southern Cal drove down the field again, but the Irish defense stepped up yet again with a perfectly timed blitz that forced a desperation heave into the end zone that Xavier Watts picked off and returned 100 yards for another score.
That was 199 yards worth of interception returns in less than two minutes to seal a victory for Notre Dame and a perfect way to end the game for the Irish defense, which uncharacteristically gave up 557 yards and 360 passing yards to the Trojans.
On the offensive side of the ball, Notre Dame punted the ball only twice and put up over 400 yards of offense. Riley Leonard completed 17-of-22 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns while adding 50 yards rushing along with Jadarian Price (112 yards) and Jeremiyah Love (99 yards). The 259 rushing yards for Notre Dame are the most against Southern Cal since the team rushed for 308 in 2019 and the most in the Coliseum since 1996 (the Irish ran for 260 yards in a 27-20 loss).
Irish tight ends Mitchell Evans and Eli Raridon both caught touchdown passes from Leonard who connected with eight different receivers.
The 84 points scored by both teams mark the most in the history of the Jeweled Shillelagh Rivalry, which dates back to 1926.
