Fifth-ranked Notre Dame (6-0) hosts Pittsburgh (3-3) on Saturday in the last of seven straight games to open the season. The Irish will finally be able to enjoy a week off for the mid-semester break, but first must tend to the business of battling the historically scrappy Panthers. Coach Pat Narduzzi’s team is coming off an exhilarating overtime win over Syracuse, whom the Irish will face next month. NBC will provide national television coverage, starting at 2:30 pm Eastern time.
