One thing about USC
2-loss ND is ranked 13, because of its "good" losses, to #2 Miami and #4 TAMU.
2-loss Illinois is unranked, due to its "bad" losses to... #1 OSU and #3 Indiana.
1-loss USC is #21. It lost, of course, to Illinois.
Against Illinois, USC forced one punt. On every other possession, Illinois either scored or fumbled directly into the end zone. Which happened twice. Illinois legitimately should have won this game by three touchdowns.
Illinois passed for 331, rushed for 171. Altmeyer was 20/26 with 2 TDs passing, one rushing, and one receiving.
USCs offense is very good. But their defense should not be able to get a single stop against NDs offense.
