One week prior to the only bye on the 2018 Notre Dame football schedule, the Irish will be hosting the Pitt Panthers, marking the first time in three years that the two teams have met. This long-running series dates back to 1909, though this will mark the Panthers first trip to South Bend since 2012.
Pitt head coach Pat Natduzzi’s team failed to be bowl-worthy last season with a 5-7 record, though they pulled one of the bigger upsets of the year when they jolted the Miami Hurricanes in the season finale.
