| QUOTE OF THE DAY |
  |
| USC coach Paul Hackett, as the Trojans blew a 24-3 lead to lose to Notre Dame 25-24. |
"The second half (we) self-destructed, penalties at critical times, turnovers, the defense allowing the quarterback to run through us. I don't think there's anything I could really point to in the second half that was any good. It's a thrill to be part of, but God, it's painful." |
