What channel is USC vs. Notre Dame game on? When, where & how to watch the Week 7 game

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish against the USC Trojans is a game packed with intrigue and history, notably 2005's 'The Bush Push' game.

The Trojans have navigated their 2023 season flawlessly and are still unbeaten with a 6-0 record, although there have been plenty of close shaves.

Caleb William's brilliance has bailed them out severally, most notably with a stirring second-half comeback in Boulder against the Colorado Buffaloes that stopped just short.

Meanwhile, the damaging 33-20 loss to Louisville all but ended Notre Dame's hopes of making the College Football Playoffs this season. However, USC could bury any flickering hope that the most optimistic fan had.

Fighting Irish coach Marcus Freeman was not dwelling on the humiliating defeat last week in his weekly press conference.

“The best thing about this week is we have to get back to work and get prepared for a great opponent in USC coming in here Saturday night,” Freeman said. “We expect it to be an electric atmosphere, a great environment and a great opportunity for this program to use the adversity we faced this past week and to use it as energy and motivation.”

This is one of the most thrilling games of Week 7's college football action because the victor could be any of the teams, with the last Fighting Irish win coming in 2021.

Fighting Irish QB1 Sam Hartman had a horrible game against Louisville and was responsible for five turnovers, two fumbles and three interceptions.

The clash against fellow Heisman Trophy-chasing QB Caleb Williams is a huge opportunity to undo the damage from last week's game.

This matchup is as much about the elite teams as it is about their quarterbacks and pecking order in the college football quarterback hierarchy.
