USC vs. Notre Dame projected starting lineups for Week 14 | 2024-25 college football season

The USC Trojans will face the No. 5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish in their last showdown of the 2024 season. These long-standing rivals will battle for the prestigious Jeweled Shillelagh in a high-powered matchup.

A spot in the College Football Playoff is almost assured for Notre Dame, but a victory is crucial to avoid any late-season surprises that could derail its hopes.

Meanwhile, USC enters the matchup with renewed momentum after securing bowl eligibility with a win over UCLA and a two-game winning streak.

However, Lincoln Riley's offense has faced challenges this season, averaging under 30 points per game.
