The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 7-2 and ranked #12 in the country after beating Pitt by more than 50 points on Saturday. The Irish used two special teams touchdowns, an interception return for a touchdown, and a brutally stout defense to make short work of Pitt. Sam Hartman’s two first quarter interceptions felt more ominous than they ever were as the offense gained over 530 yards on the day — 114 of which were via Audric Estime on the ground (along with his 3 touchdowns).
Next up for the Irish is a road trip to South Carolina to take on the Clemson Tigers — who have already suffered four losses this season.
