"With regard to the present, this could be the last time the two historic programs meet in Notre Dame Stadium for the foreseeable future -- the two teams haven't agreed on a schedule past this season. USC head coach Lincoln Riley said he was hopeful the series continues in July, but there has been a seeming ambivalence from the Trojans on the rivalry's current setup"
"The game -- which brought out "College GameDay" and Notre Dame's exclusive green jerseys -- came down to the final play, with USC trailing 31-28 and possessing the ball at the Fighting Irish 1-yard line. Trojan quarterback Matt Leinart attempted a game-winning quarterback sneak, where he was initially stonewalled, before being pushed into the end zone by star running back Reggie Bush."
USC and Notre Dame may not meet again in South Bend for the foreseeable future because the teams have not agreed on a schedule beyond this season. Lincoln Riley expressed hope the series continues, but USC has shown ambivalence about the rivalry's alternating mid-October and late-November schedule amid its transition to the Big Ten. The matchup coincides with the 20th anniversary of the 2005 Bush Push. In 2005 USC was a dominant program with consecutive national titles and a 5-0 start. The game ended on a disputed one-yard touchdown where Reggie Bush pushed Matt Leinart into the end zone without a flag.
