Notre Dame has emerged from their very much past due bye week to greet perpetual whiner Pat Narduzzi and his 2-5 Pitt Panthers at Notre Dame Stadium Saturday afternoon. What will the Irish look like coming out of the bye?
Can fans realistically expect to see a more effective offense?
For as brutal as the last four game stretch was, the back end of this schedule is lightening up. Pitt is 2-5 coming off a brutal loss to Wake’s 3rd string QB and Clemson choked a game away against Miami for their third loss of the season. The remaining slate is very gettable for the Irish, but only if they show up focused and ready to perform.
Let’s take a look at some confidences & concerns Irish fans may have entering this contest.
