Sixth-ranked Notre Dame finally knows what kickoff time will be for the regular-season finale at USC this Saturday.

Talk about taking it one play at a time.

After exercising a six-day option, TV executives decided shortly after ND’s 45-14 victory over No. 19 Army on Saturday night at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx that another primetime game was not the best choice for the Irish (10-1). ).

Instead, ND-USC will kick off next Saturday at 3:30 PM EST at the LA Memorial Coliseum. CBS will provide the broadcast.

The Trojans, playing as members of the Big Ten for the first time this season, are 6-5 overall after edging past fellow Big Ten newcomer UCLA 19-13 on Saturday night.

At stake for Notre Dame is a spot in the College Football Playoff and most likely a chance to host a first-round home game in the 12-team format on Dec. 20 or 21.
