Notre Dame -160 4% play

Mayer out for Notre Dame, but they get their QB they started the season with back for this game, which helps their running game as he is a running QB.  South Carolina down 3 key defensive starters and others here.  This was a run defense ranked 113th in ypc, and 117th in epa.  Notre Dame obviously over the years needs to run the ball and I think they will do that here.  69 TD in their last 3 seasons in wins on the ground, and just 9 in their 8 losses.  South Carolina has given up 5 + ypc in their last 4 games, and 200+ yards 6x.  It could be close, but Notre Dame wins this game.
