    Didn’t Rutgers come back to win against NC State this year?

    Ten seconds left in the first half:
    USC 0, Notre Dame 24 (Notre Dame is the defending national champion.) The game is considered to be over. Irish are collecting on their bets at half-time. Some USC fans are going home, dejected.

    Final score:
    USC 55, Notre Dame 24.

    “The Comeback.”
    USC trailed 24-0 late in the first half against the nation’s top-ranked defense. But with 10 seconds remaining before halftime, Anthony Davis scored on a 7-yard pass from Pat Haden. The two-point conversion failed, and the Trojans trailed 24-6 at the half. Davis took the opening kick of the second half 102 yards to open the floodgates for USC, which scored 35 points in the third quarter. Davis scored twice on short runs and Haden threw TD passes of 18 and 45 yards to Johnny McKay. Less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, the Trojans scored twice more on a 16-yard pass from Haden to Shelton Diggs and a Charles Phillips’ 58-yard interception return for a touchdown.
