The Pittsburgh Panthers Lose Two Starters In One Week Before They Play Notre Dame

The Pittsburgh Panthers would love nothing more than to follow their win against the Syracuse Orange with an historic upset win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South Bend.

As unlikely as that sounds, their dream took a couple of big hits this week, as Wednesday just was an awful day for the Panthers.

News broke yesterday that Pitt starting linebacker and captain, Quintin Wirginis suffered a non-contact knee injury in practice and will miss the rest of the 2018 season. This is a huge loss for the Panthers as Wirginis was their best defensive player by far this season.
