The Notre Dame Fighting Irish got their first taste of road action Saturday and enjoyed it with a 45-3 victory over the Pitt Panthers. The victory kept them undefeated at 5-0, with only one more game standing in the way of the huge matchup against Clemson. The loss by the Panthers marked their four consecutive defeat and put them below .500 for the first time this season.
The Irish weren’t really challenged, in part because of the total lack of a running game by Pitt as well as the fact that the Panthers’ regular quarterback remained on the sidelines with an ankle injury.
