Sure, but it's been awhile since there's been a big upset.

Quick google search shows that ND was a 9 point favorite prior to the 2011 game at ND, but that wasn't as much of an upset in hindsight as it appeared at the time, and ND's season had already been tainted by an 0-2 start.

The last time in this series that a team's otherwise great season was spoiled by an inferior rival must have been 1998 when a 7-4 USC beat a 9-1 ND to block them from a major bowl game. That was the 10-0 game following Jarious Jackson's infamous unsafe safety.

We did a number on them in 1995 when we ruined Keyshawn & Co's undefeated season.
