For this week’s Throwback Thursday post I’m going to go way back to the 1944 match-up between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Pittsburgh Panthers. But before I do that, here are a few stats for you. Notre Dame and Pittsburgh have faced each other 70 times. Notre Dame has won 48 games, Pittsburgh has won 21 games, and the two teams have tied once. Notre Dame’s largest margin of victory was in 1944 (58-0), and Pitt’s largest margin of victory was in 1936 (26-0). Notre Dame’s current win streak is two.
On September 30th, 1944, Notre Dame traveled to Pitt Stadium to face the Pittsburgh Panthers in front of 46,069 fans.
