Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Notre Dame, Ind.. 826. Nov. 19. Boston College Eagles. 11. player

For Notre Dame’s last ACC game of the season, they will welcome former Notre Dame quarterback Phil Jurkovec and Boston College to Notre Dame. This will be an interesting game just simply for the Jurkovec storyline. It is also interesting because the Eagles return some key pieces to the team and could be a sleeper team in the ACC in 2022.

The other key piece to Boston College’s offense is wide receiver Zay Flowers. Flowers surprised some people by deciding to come back to Chestnut Hill for another season and is one of the best receivers in the country. This is a game that Notre Dame needs to take very seriously next season and they could be on upset alert. However, the Fighting Irish will make a play or two to win.

Final Score: Notre Dame 34, Boston College 27 (9-2)

Nov. 26. USC Trojans. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Los Angeles, Calif.. 12. player. 808

One of the marquee rivalry games in the country, Notre Dame and USC will face off in Los Angeles in what will be one of the more interesting games of the season. USC is making a play to get back to the top of college football and made waves by going out to hire Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley.

Riley is hoping to get the Trojans competing for national championships soon and USC will be one of the most interesting teams of the season to follow.

There are a lot of unknowns with the Trojans. They could be the landing spot for former Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams, but nothing is official yet. Notre Dame has won four in a row over USC and they will make it five in 2022. There are too many questions about the rest of USC’s roster to think they will be able to knock off Notre Dame in 2022.

Final Score: Notre Dame 42, USC 38 (10-2)
