For the 74th straight year in 89th time, Notre Dame, and USC will square off on the football field this weekend.

I'm Tim Priester with Tim O'Malley and Pete Samson.

You are listening to Irish Illustrate Insider, and we are a little bit more than 48 hours away from Nordame taking on USC for that 74th straight year. Nordame, a 10 point favorite. And the weather forecast has

gotten a lot better than when you mentioned it on Monday peak that high of 52, virtually no

chance of rain, low of 43, a little bit windy, but should be a good day and good night in Notre Dame Stadium.

Yeah, I mean, it's fall weather.

It's when the...

Yeah, it's a little early for a little bit.

Yeah, it's a little early for some of the stuff we thought we were going to get.

But, yeah, it's perfect for Notre Dame. I don't know if USC is going to be

shivering. I don't think it'll quite be that bad. Because this is, probably they will be.

Well, but this is, I mean, that's the weather when we get to Southern Cal at the end of the year when

they're playing out there. It feels a little different. 40s. It does. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's like when you go to L.A.

for this game, you can spot who roots for what team based on whether they're wearing pants or shorts.

Yeah.

That's it.

I think USC will be uncomfortable with high 40s.

That's just how that's going to be.

I don't know how much of an impact it's going to have

in a game, but if you have a quarterback who was from Arizona, who's a freshman on the road,

not his first road start, but certainly his biggest, that might have an impact on what happens.

I think it impacts him more than anybody else. Well, and think about the past rush that he's going to be dealing with, too.
