The big shining light on this matchup is along the two lines for Notre Dame and Pittsburgh. Notre Dame is currently 5th nationally in yards per carry on the ground. Pittsburgh is currently 1st nationally in yards per carry allowed. Strength vs strength as people like to say. I’m not making that one of the bullet points in this piece because it’s pretty much the whole thing.
The best part of Notre Dame’s team is the offensive line. There will be some games when they play just good and that’s enough to win, because their level of good is above most other positions.
