The Notre Dame football team has one more very big game in the regular season before it can hit cruise control. Their journey to Pitt has turned into a clash of Top 25 teams and the last test before the Fighting Irish finish off their slate against some real cupcakes.
There was more drama added to the whole situation when Panthers coach Pat Narduzzi made some rather interesting comments, where he said he didn't really care if his team was blown out. His logic was that since the Irish were not an ACC team, Pitt could lose badly and still make the playoffs as long as they won their last two conference games.
