Did USC end up with a losing record?

Yes...finished 5-7.

ND survived, and that's all that matters. Would have loved to see them play a lot better, but I think USC also played well, and deserves a lot of credit for making it such a hard-fought game.

Notre Dame should be very thankful for having Book as their quarterback. Without him, they may have missed the playoff.

Without question!
