Notre Dame forced five turnovers and sacked reigning Heisman winner Caleb Williams six times in 41-20 win
Notre Dame knew that if it was going to beat USC Saturday night it would have to have its best defensive performance of the season. Neither head coach’s Trojans sported the nation’s No. 1 scoring offense and hadn’t been held to fewer than 42 points since last year’s Pac-12 Championship Game loss to Utah. Even on an off night, USC has managed to post victories six times in spite of its below average defense.
Notre Dame’s primary defensive focus was Williams. The junior quarterback’s knack for extending plays with his legs has broken the backs of most defenses he has faced. He broke Notre Dame’s back with them last year, scoring three touchdowns in a 38-27 win in Los Angeles. "I don't know if there is a perfect answer to stopping Caleb Williams,” Freeman remarked."He is one of the best college football players that I've ever seen. All I kept telling the guys is, we have a plan, and on this play you have to attack. You cannot play passive. You cannot play a three-man rush and let him go out there and be the Heisman Trophy winner he is.
