Notre Dame made their first road trip of the year and will return to South Bend with an unblemished record following a 42-3 beatdown Pitt. The Irish got off to a slow start in the first quarter but used a 21 point second quarter to pull away en route to another easy victory. However, the win did come with some costs as the Irish could be without two major weapons for a while.
