The USC game has had major importance for Notre Dame's National Championship
hopes in the past. From 1966 to 1982, ND won only three games (1966, 1973, and 1977)
against the Trojans, and in each year ND won the National Championship.
Notre Dame certainly was spirited for the 1977 game. The students made an enormous
Trojan horse and Coach Dan Devine pulled out his biggest trick: after warming up in
standard blue jerseys, the ND players stormed the field for the game in green jerseys
on their way to a 30 point trouncing of USC.
