When Notre Dame and Pittsburgh do battle on Saturday afternoon in South Bend it’ll be a game that features a couple of former Fighting Irish standouts now wearing a different shade of blue.
Linebacker Shayne Simon and running back [autotag]C’Bo Flemister[/autotag] both spent four seasons at Notre Dame before transferring and ending up at Pitt.
Flemister said earlier this week of his decision to attend Notre Dame out of high school, where he wound up getting his degree:
“The big attraction to me personally was my future,” Flemsiter said. “They preach four for 40. Four years for the next 40 years of your life. You’re building a huge network. That alumni network is awesome. That was pretty much my biggest deciding factor. I’m looking 40 years down the road how going there could have helped me coming out of high school.”
Flemister currently leads Pitt with 282 rushing yards and has added a pair of touchdown runs. He’s come on largely over the past two games for Pitt, who is just 2-5 on the year.
