SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Ian Book threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Miles Boykin with 5:43 remaining and No. 5 Notre Dame remained unbeaten, coming from behind and then holding off Pittsburgh 19-14 on Saturday.
The Fighting Irish are 7-0 for the first time since 2012, the year they went to the BCS title game, and this game against Pitt was reminiscent of that season's victory in South Bend against the Panthers (3-4).
"Proud of our guys and their grit -- they hung in there and found a way to win," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said.
