-ND beating them at their place w/ our 2 starting RBs in '88
-Shutting Marijunovich up in '89
-Reggie Brooks rushing for what seemed like 500 yards in '93 (Brooks played even while being sick w/ the flu)
-Kinnon Tatum smashing a USC RB in ND's 38-10 win in '95 (ND was supposed to get crushed in that game according to the "experts")
-Zibby's PR 2005
-Robert Hughes running over anyting that got in his way in 2010
-Fuller smoking Adore Jackson on the 1st play from scrimmage in 2015
-Total domination by the Irish in 2017
AND (my most recent favorite) Tony Jones scoring on a 51 yard score w/ help from a Boykin block where he absolutely destroyed the SC defender. Of course that play sealed the W & sent ND to the CFB playoff.

#1 vs #2
The Zibby TD punt return is right up there, but this will always be my favorite.

I'm an alum of the late 80's - early 90's, and my favorite moment against USC came in 1989, when USC's Boy Wonder quarterback came to town.
Scott Kowalkowski, one of our OLB's, and a fearsome hitter, took Todd "Marijuanavich" Marinovich to the woodshed after Marinovich engaged in some trash talking.
Marinovich got whacked pretty hard by Kowalkowski while trying a 3rd down pass late in the game, and threw a wounded duck.
Seeing Marinovich having a hard time getting up after that hit still puts a big smile on my face. :)
I've attached the link to the plays that should brighten up everyone's day. I mean it.

Turnovers by the Irish kept USC in the game. Listen to the names being called out. The talent on that field was amazing.
propel the 8th ranked Irish over the 6th ranked TRojans 23-14 in 1973, and eventual national title..ND Stadium exploded...
