Watch: Notre Dame linebacker Bo Bauer picks off USC’s Slovis

The first big defensive play goes the Irish’s way

The Trojans finally got some momentum on offense, mainly looking towards their star receiver Drake London’s way. A drive that started on their own 25-yard line saw them go down the field and end the first quarter at the Irish 23-yard line.

The first play of the second quarter would prove to be a big one for the Irish as USC quarterback Kedon Slovis was pressured by defensive end Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa and made him force a throw. Slovis’ mistake was the Irish’s gain as linebacker Bo Bauer picked off the pass and rumbled 79-yards down the field to the Notre Dame 12 yard line. Check out the pick below.
