While the Notre Dame defense has continued to improve week after week this season, I have yet to see this squad play a full, solid, focused 60 minutes. Just when we think we’re going to win with style points … our defense gives up some needless touchdowns. But I digress. How did the Notre Dame defense perform against the Pitt Panthers? Let’s take a look at the numbers!
Notre Dame’s defense held Pitt to 18 first downs on Saturday, and only allowed Pitt to convert on third down 6-of-14 times, and on fourth down 1-of-1 times.
