A week after scoring a nice win over Syracuse, Pitt will face an even stiffer challenge this weekend in No. 5 Notre Dame. While the home game against Penn State was arguably the team’s feature game, in the Fighting Irish, the Panthers may be facing an even better team.
And judging how things went against Penn State, well, it has the potential to get ugly.
Forget that Pitt will even be playing on the road for a second. Notre Dame is a perfect 6-0 with wins over three ranked opponents. Their latest feat was traveling to Virginia Tech this weekend for a night game and coming away with a 22-point win.
