Notre Dame is riding high after reasserting itself as the dominant team of late in its rivalry with USC. After a one-year absence, the excitement for this matchup had not dwindled, and it was great to see the game play out as it did. There will come a season in which the Irish lose to the Trojans again, but 2021 will not be the year. So the only thing to do is celebrate.
Here are some Irish fans who reacted to this game for better or worse:
A win is a win. #NotreDame offense was better. Defense missed Hamilton & the tackling was utterly horrendous.

Most enjoyable to see @NDFootball roll over longtime rival @uscfootball, 31-16. Fighting Irish played well on both sides of the ball. ND RB Kyren Williams had an outstanding game — 138 yards on 25 carries and 2 TDs; 6 receptions for 42 yds. That's 4 in a row for ND over USC☘️🏈
