It’s amazing how time flies seems like yesterday we were suffering through the opposite

in the last 10 years. No, I’m not saying it’s as impressive as when Lou or Ara were going against USC, but I’m not sure you can just blow it off.
Also, I give Kelly major credit for ending the 10 year horror against USC. Anyone remember Hughes on that final drive. Or Smith’s interception at the end? Yeah...that was nice.
Completely different opponent in SC between those two eras.
That’s the problem with BK. It’s either irrational hatred or comparison with Ara. Both are redunkulous.

In defense of Ara, they were rather good during that time period.
one in 66 by blowing them out. They also had two ties.
How many has a Kelly or SC won in this era?
Another false equivalence. Try to deal in the present tense.

Davie was 3-2 against USC and did beat Carroll in Pete's first year.
Kelly never had to face Carroll.

Also, there were two ties in those games and the 1974 team would have crushed USC if it had not lost 6 starters to a parietal violation kerfuffle.
I know, splitting hairs. Sounds much better to say he 'only' lost to USC 6 times in 11 years.
Not so much during Kelly's time.
Kelly being 6-3 against them going into this game isn't that great.

dominant ND teams either.
The inability of the 2 schools to sync coaching competency has turned this historic rivalry into a nostalgic rivalry.
0-2 against Robinson and 3-0 against Tollner
Opposing coach can dictate a lot sometimes...
(Faust went 1-4 against Air Force.)
