Trouble for the Trojans: yes, Notre Dame can slay the dragon on Saturday in South Bend. Here's how.(COLLEGE FOOTBALL)
It was a big day in the Weis household last Saturday. Dad took young Charlie Jr. to get a haircut. Then he took some home video of his wife, Maura, riding one of her two horses. Then he plopped on his couch, turned on the satellite dish and watched some team run around a bit.
Perhaps you've heard of them--the Southern California Trojans.
"You can't really see the same things when you watch the games on television," Weis says.
Oh, no? The Trojans are faster, more dynamic and more dangerous than anybody else no matter where you're watching them. And Weis knows it.
Who could have guessed that in only his sixth game as coach at Notre Dame, Weis would be staring at the biggest game in South Bend in more than a decade. Maybe more than two decades. Certainly, in a hell of a long time.
If USC isn't cause for the Irish to break out their special-occasion green jerseys, only Touchdown Jesus himself knows what is.
"Obviously," Weis says, "they are the bar now."
