Rinse, wash, repeat. What we saw from the Irish last week against Louisville is very similar to what we will see this weekend. The difference however, is that we are all expecting a tough battle against Pitt, they’re much more of a talented team as a whole than the Cardinals. The Panthers defensive has multiple NFL prospects, led by defensive lineman Patrick Jones II and safety Paris Ford. Both teams mirror each other, high level defenses with iffy offenses. Expect another low scoring affair, but advantage goes to Notre Dame due to Brian Kelly out-coaching Pat Narduzzi.
