Notre Dame 19 Pitt 14 – Recap and Highlights
Defense again comes up big and wins this game while Special Teams were anything but.
Pitt’s defense devised by HC Pat Narduzzi totally confused the ND offense especially Book. He was harassed and sacked all game until the final drive that won the game.
The ND running game was non existent and that was basically their DL beating our OL. That OL needs some changes and they have 2 weeks to fix it. Chip Long really has to upgrade his in game play calling.
Notre Dame’s game winning drive covered 80 yards and Book was 10 for 10 and cemented the win with a perfect 35 yard toss to Boykin for the TD. Book passed for 264 yds 2 TD’s and 2 Picks – he really stepped up in that last drive.
It’s a good thing ND has a bye week since the remaining games will not be easy – think Syracuse and USC.
