Could the old axiom of 'Return to Glory' really be true in 2011 for the Fighting Irish? SB Nation's Bill Connelly goes in-depth into the 2011 Irish, saying they may actually make that return fans have been talking about for a long time.
An interception by Harrison Smith at the goal line with 36 seconds remaining made all the difference for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as they captured a thrilling 20-16 win over the USC Trojans.
USC's defense forced four Notre Dame turnovers, but a nonexistent running game and ineffective play by quarterback Mitch Mustain couldn't take full advantage, as Notre Dame beat the Trojans, 20-16, in a sloppy game at the Coliseum.
