SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame football began its late-season stretch of road games with a four-point win over previously unbeaten Temple on Saturday in Philadelphia, and the Irish head right back to Pennsylvania this week for a matchup with Pittsburgh.
The Panthers, who had climbed to No. 23 in last week’s AP poll, are again unranked after their 26-19 home loss to North Carolina on Thursday. Now at 6-2, Pitt welcomes 7-1 and eighth-ranked Notre Dame, which is still trying to avoid any potholes on its way toward the regular-season finale against No. 9 Stanford.
