Huge underdog, but Pitt takes momentum into game vs. No. 5 Notre Dame

Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi is excited for his team to travel to play No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday.

Well, sort of.

"I'm looking forward to Notre Dame -- and when I say looking forward, I don't know if I'm looking forward to playing the No. 5 team in the country," Narduzzi said to reporters this week. "Because they are awful good. Maybe as good a football team you're going to see -- that Notre Dame has ever had, I think."

That is high praise for one of the most prestigious programs in college football history.
