Pitt heads to Notre Dame today and will look to win its third straight game against the Irish. In 2008, Pitt won a four-overtime thriller and last season, Pitt held off a Notre Dame rally to win 27-22 at home.
The struggling Panthers' secondary will be under the spotlight against an Irish passing attack that is 17th in the nation averaging nearly 300 yards a game.
Pitt's best chance to win the game will be to control the clock with a run-oriented offense, keeping the Irish offense off the field.
