For as its audi By JOE HETTLER Sports Writer LOS ANGELES - Different year. Different teams. Same 31-point result. Two years after allowing Southern California quarter back Carson Palmer to throw for 425 yards and four touch downs en route to winning the Heisman Trophy, Notre Dame let Matt Leinart make his own case for the nation's most prestigious award on Saturday. The Trojan quarterback tal lied a career-high 400 yards and five touchdowns while leading No. 1 USC to an easy 41-10 victory in Los Angeles. It was the third straight season USC beat Notre Dame by 31 points. "They are No. 1 for a rea son," Irish head coach Tyrone Willingham said. "They demonstrated tonight that if you take something away from them ... they will find some other way of getting past you." The Irish shut down USC's running attack for most of the game, holding the Trojans to just 91 yards on 28 attempts. But it was USC's passing game - led by Leinart and his arse nal of receivers - that was simply too powerful for Notre Dame. Leinart threw two touch down passes to 6-foot-5 fresh man Dwayne Jarrett of 12 and 57 yards, a 69-yarder to Heggie Bush, a 35-yarder to Steve Smith and a 23-yarder to Jason Mitchell. "What we have to do is make CLAIRE KELLEY/The Observer the plays," Willingham said. Irish linebacker Mike Goolsby pursues USC running back Reggie Bush during Notre Dame's 41-10 loss to the Trojans Saturday. "They made big plays tonight.
