Notre Dame depth chart for USC
Notre Dame and USC return to action this week as they meet for the first time since 2019 after the pandemic kept last year’s rivalry game away from college football fans.
Both teams enter this week’s contest off a bye week and at different places. Notre Dame sits at 5-1 as the Irish enter the second half of the season and look to make it a fifth-straight season of ten or more victories while USC is playing out the round while they look for a new head coach and sit at just 3-3.
What will Notre Dame do differently with their roster coming off the bye?
Here is how the depth chart officially looked on Monday of USC week:
