LOS ANGELES – The Jeweled Shillelagh has been spending an awful lot of time in Hollywood over the past decade.

Southern California has won nine of its past 10 meetings with Notre Dame in one of college football’s best intersectional rivalries. The Trojans won a record eight straight over the Irish before a narrow loss in 2009, falling one dropped touchdown pass short of a perfect 10-year stretch with the jeweled trophy.

USC’s dominance is one reason many of the current players don’t have a full grasp of more than 85 years of history between the schools. The Trojans have been on top for most of their youths, winning in everything from blowouts to the famed “Bush Push” game of 2005.
