Pitt falls to No. 5 Notre Dame, 19-14
Pitt losing a game to No. 5 Notre Dame wasn’t surprising. Rather, the manner of the loss is what raised eyebrows.
In a nationally televised game where even fans not particularly interested in either team tuned in, the Panthers (3-4) lost a closer than expected contest to the Irish (7-0), 19-14.
Many Pitt fans will feel the team should have won the game, of course. You can make that argument. Pitt led most of the game and had a 14-12 lead late until an Irish touchdown in the fourth quarter put them ahead for good. One more play on that Notre Dame drive and the game could have gone much differently.
