TALIA’S TAKE: Irish rolling, fans reacting, and eyes on USC

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The Fighting Irish are on a four-game win streak, and fans are fired up. The defense has been dominant — shutting out opponents after halftime in three straight games.

One of the biggest highlights? Adon Shuler’s interception — and the celebration that followed. It was a moment worth framing.

But not everything had fans cheering. The crowd rained down boos toward the officials after several questionable calls, similar to last week’s game.

And while the spotlight is bright on quarterback CJ Carr, his name still isn’t appearing on many Heisman lists — despite putting up numbers that rival top contenders.

As for the biggest question of the week: Is Notre Dame vs. USC the best rivalry in college football?

For me — growing up in a Trojan household — that answer’s easy.

That’s Talia’s Take
