It seems that there was some trash talking after the game was over.
Kennedy Urlacher did get a mention for being in the scrum.

From this view, it simply looks like some ND guys giving Urlacher some friendly exchanges.

If he did, he had no impact
I'm surprised he hasn't put himself higher on the depth chart. When he played for us, he showed excellent instincts and very good athleticism.
I still wish him the best. I simply think that he got caught up in the moment / hype.

...if he would have cracked the starting lineup.
If anything, Luke Talich has proven himself too good to stay on the bench, and we have some highly talented and hungry true freshmen at the S position.
That, plus Joey O'Brien coming in next year, along with Ayden Pouncey, would have made it more difficult for Urlacher to crack the 2-deep.
Don't get me wrong. I want him to succeed (except against us), and hope that he can truly find his niche at USC, and become the star I think he can be.
It's just that we have quite a nice current and future roster when it comes to the S position, and I want the best man to start.
...longtime friends no doubt...lots of emotions.
Thanks.

Intense match up coupled with frustration and ND not backing down.

Riley didn't even shake hands with MF.
