However, while Notre Dame and USC have defeated the other in landmark games enabling one of them to move on to a national title, the two teams have also played spoiler to each other several times: Notre Dame – #1 undefeated Notre Dame beat #2 undefeated USC in the Coliseum en route to the national title in 1988. The Irish also spoiled Trojan title campaigns by giving them their first loss in the last game of the season in 1947 and 1952, as well as handing them a first loss in 1927, 1973 and 1995. They also tied #1 ranked USC in 1968, 21–21, knocking them down to #2 behind Ohio State (who then beat USC in a 1 vs. 2 matchup in the <a href="/wiki/1969_Rose_Bowl" title="1969 Rose Bowl">Rose Bowl</a>).

Sperber documents that the series was created primarily for financial and political reasons,<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> and that Rockne's resistance to the series is misstated.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> During the 1920s, many college institutions, including the Big Ten (then called the Western Conference), sought to combat the commercialism that was steadily increasing in college athletics. Part of the concern over commercialism stemmed from the large money payouts teams would receive by traveling long distances to play in bowl games.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> Meanwhile, Notre Dame had difficulty scheduling local Western Conference opponents because of a ban placed on member schools from playing them.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> The Irish were initially forced to seek out opponents nationally to fill its schedule, often traveling far away to do so.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> After the Irish started winning landmark games against elite teams, such as Georgia Tech and Army, the team started to grow in popularity and could command more money for games it scheduled.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> Notre Dame garnered interest from the <a href="/wiki/Rose_Bowl_(game)" class="mw-redirect" title="Rose Bowl (game)">Rose Bowl</a> Committee to have Notre Dame come and play a <a href="/wiki/Pac-12_Conference" title="Pac-12 Conference">Pacific Coast Conference</a> (now Pac-12) opponent for the 1924 football season.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> Coach Rockne and the Notre Dame administration realized how lucrative an annual trip to Los Angeles would be for the football program.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> Notre Dame's West Coast alumni began lobbying Rockne to bring the team to the Rose Bowl as a season finale every year.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> The Rose Bowl Committee favored this arrangement (at the time there was no tie in with the Big Ten); however, the Pacific Coast Conference had reservations.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> Specifically, two members schools, <a href="/wiki/Stanford_Cardinal_football" title="Stanford Cardinal football">Stanford</a> and <a href="/wiki/California_Golden_Bears_football" title="California Golden Bears football">California</a> refused to play Notre Dame "on account of [Notre Dame's] low scholastic standards."<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> Since Notre Dame was a Catholic school, its academics were considered inferior at the time.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> USC's coach, <a href="/wiki/Gus_Henderson" title="Gus Henderson">Gus Henderson</a> reached out to Rockne through correspondence stating that "USC would welcome the chance to play Notre Dame New Year's Day in Pasadena."<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> While Rockne favored playing USC, Stanford, which won the Pacific Coast Conference title, had first choice and eventually realized that playing Notre Dame would be lucrative, and the two played in the 1925 Rose Bowl.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> The series between Notre Dame and USC was created because of the still-existing desire for Notre Dame to travel to Los Angeles to please its alums and earn a large payout, as well as the still-standing invitation to play them from Coach Henderson.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> While the creation of the series was contradictory to Notre Dame's efforts to follow the Big Ten in combating commercialism (the Big Ten had a 26-year Bowl ban, which Notre Dame followed even longer), Rockne and other administrators justified the game since it was created as a home-and-home series, only to be played in Los Angeles every other year.<a href="#cite_note-Sperber-13">[12]</a> The creation of the series was also likely influenced by the hiring of <a href="/wiki/Howard_Jones_(American_football_coach)" title="Howard Jones (American football coach)">Howard Jones</a>, who knew Rockne from coaching against him at Iowa.

With the Irish coming off of two stellar performances against #14 Utah and Army (27–3 at Yankee Stadium), Notre Dame was riding high, while USC was one week removed from one of their most one-sided defeats in the last decade, a 36–7 loss to the Oregon State Beavers and would be starting fifth-year senior and backup QB <a href="/wiki/Mitch_Mustain" title="Mitch Mustain">Mitch Mustain</a> for the first time due to an injury to starter <a href="/wiki/Matt_Barkley" title="Matt Barkley">Matt Barkley</a>.

Notre Dame was ranked #1 in the AP poll after being unranked in that poll to start the season, while USC entered the game unranked after starting the season as the preseason #1 team. With a balanced offensive attack and several late goal-line stands on defense, Notre Dame won the game 22–13. The Irish held on to their #1 BCS ranking and propelled themselves to the BCS Championship Game in Miami.

On the end of the club is engraved the following: From the Emerald Isle. The trophy was introduced in 1952 to commemorate the first game in the series played on December 4, 1926. The trophy was donated by the Notre Dame Alumni Club of Los Angeles, stating that "this shillelagh will serve to symbolize in part the high tradition, the keen rivalry, and above all the sincere respect which these two great universities have for each other." For each victory, a respective jeweled ornament is added to the foot-long club. For each USC victory, a <a href="/wiki/Ruby" title="Ruby">ruby</a>-adorned Trojan head is added, marked with the year and game score; for each Notre Dame victory, a similarly detailed <a href="/wiki/Emerald" title="Emerald">emerald</a>-studded shamrock is added. For tie games, a combined Trojan head/shamrock medallion is used (in 1996 NCAA changed the rules to allow for overtime and thus no more ties are possible). Although the shillelagh was introduced in 1952, the medallions go back to the start of the series in 1926. In 1996, after USC defeated Notre Dame for the first time in 14 years, Notre Dame did not turn over the shillelagh, stating that it had run out of space for the Trojan heads and shamrocks after the 1989 game.<a href="#cite_note-50">[49]</a> The original shillelagh was retired in a 1995 ceremony and is now permanently displayed at Notre Dame.
