Notre Dame and USC have traditionally been counted among the elite programs in college football, with each school having won 11 national championships and 7 Heisman Trophies.〔 〕 This football rivalry, which began in 1926, is considered one of the most important in college football, and is often called the greatest intersectional rivalry in college football.〔Dave Revsine, (Michigan, Ohio State set bar high for other rivalries ), ESPN.com, November 24, 2006, Accessed March 24, 2009.〕〔(The Greatest Intersectional Rivalry: Top 10 Moments from Notre Dame-USC ), SI.com, October 12, 2005, Accessed March 24, 2009.〕〔Adam Rose, (The Color of Misery ), LATimes.com, October 20, 2007, Accessed March 24, 2009.〕〔(This Week in Pac-10 Football ), Pacific 10 Conference, November 20, 2006, Accessed March 24, 2009.〕 Several times, the winner of this series has gone on to win or play for the college football national title. Both schools combined have produced the most national titles (11 each),〔 Heisman trophy winners (7 each),〔 All-Americans, College Football Hall of Famers and NFL Hall of Famers (12 each) of any collegiate football rivalry series. The rivals account for the highest numbers of players taken in the NFL Draft of any school; both are tied with 479 players taken.〔Pedro Moura, (Trojans take lead in all-time draft picks ), April 30, 2011, accessed May 1, 2011.〕 Also of note is that ND and USC games count for five of the ten most-watched college football games in television history. The teams play for the Jeweled Shillelagh, a trophy that goes home with the winning team each year. Notre Dame leads the series 46–36–5, including a 2005 USC victory vacated due to NCAA penalty. While Notre Dame and USC have defeated the other in landmark games enabling one of them to move onto a national title, the two teams have also played spoiler to each other several times. Notre Dame – #1 undefeated Notre Dame beat #2 undefeated USC in the Coliseum en route to the national title in 1988. The Irish also spoiled Trojan title campaigns by giving them their first loss in the last game of the season in 1947 and 1952, as well as handing them a first loss in 1927, 1973 and 1995. They also tied #1 ranked USC in 1968, 21–21, knocking them down to #2 behind Ohio State (who then beat USC in a 1 vs. 2 matchup in the Rose Bowl). The Irish tied the Trojans again in 1969, 14-14, the only blemish in USC's 10-0-1 season.〔 USC – Spoiled legitimate Irish title hopes in 1938, 1964, 1970, 1980, and tying them in 1948 (after Michigan already had been voted #1 by AP).〔 Each game came in the final week of the season. USC also spoiled Irish campaigns in 1931 and 1971.〔 ==Series history== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Notre Dame–USC football rivalry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
