By CHRIS FEDERICO Spom Ediror

LOS ANGELES In a match-up that promised a renewed rivalry and return to glory for two of the nation's premier foot­ ball programs, the Trojans proved they were a little closer to their return to national prominence. as No. 6 Southern California trounced No. 7 Notre Dame 44-13 in the Los Angeles Coliseum. After claiming a 13-10 lead with just over a minute to play in the first half, the Irish yielded 34 unanswered points as the Trojans moved the ball at will on the ground and through the air in the second half. "The best thing I can say is that we played a good football team today, and that they took it to us and we were not able to stay with them," Irish coach Tyrone Willingham said. Trojan quarterback Carson Palmer picked apart the Irish secondary all night. The fifth-year star shone bright in the national spotlight Saturday, going 32-for-46 passing for 425 yards, with four touchdowns and two inter­ ceptions. "I thought Carson did everything he needed to do tonight, I know he wish­ es he could have a couple plays back," Trojan coach Pete Carroll said. "Everything else about him, he was stellar tonight as only he knows how to be." Palmer was near perfect against the Irish. making a late season statement for his place in the lleisman trophy race. The 425 yards passing and 610 total yards given up by the Irish were the highest in the team's history. "We were clicking, rolling - it got to the point where every time we didn't score, we were mad," Palmer said.
