Notre Dame’s playoff path now includes a freshman QB showdown

Today, the Notre Dame football team needs to focus on Boise State. However, in a season where the Irish have to win every single game in order to make the playoffs, it pays to look ahead at what might be in the next few weeks. As of this morning, that includes taking on a Pitt Panthers team that has a new starting quarterback.

The Panthers are coming off two straight losses after entering the season hoping to be an ACC Title contender. The losses and the derailed season have led head coach Pat Narduzzi to yank the guy who has been Pitt's QB1 for two seasons.
