The Notre Dame-Pittsburgh rivalry doesn't have a cool nickname or a prized trophy. Instead, only one thing matters Saturday when the 14th-ranked Fighting Irish and Panthers meet for the first time in three years — bragging rights.
Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman celebrates with safety Xavier Watts during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Southern California Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, in South Bend, Ind. Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price returns a kickoff for a touchdown during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Southern California Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, in South Bend, Ind.
“When you put the tape on and watch those shiny gold helmets, they fly around,” Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi said. “They look good. They’re probably as good-looking a team as you are going to walk out on game day and see.” Irish quarterback Sam Hartman faced the Panthers two years ago when he was still at Wake Forest, but Hartman has been noticeably more efficient in Notre Dame’s pro-style offense. He’s completing a career-best 64.5% of his throws with 1,838 yards, 18 touchdowns and three interceptions.
The Irish cannot afford to overlook the Panthers if they intend to scramble back into the playoff mix, though. And coach Marcus Freeman could get his players’ attention by simply pointing to the teams’ contests against Louisville in back-to-back weeks.
