Pitt-NOTRE DAME Game Day Prediction:
Pitt and Notre Dame have played Virginia and Georgia Tech. Pitt barely won both games and Notre Dame almost lost to Virginia, but beat Georgia Tech easily. This is November and the better teams are playing the Best Ball. Notre Dame has played a tougher schedule as well! Pitt is an Average Team until Chaney produces a complete offense over 4 Quarters? Pitt can’t beat Notre Dame unless the Irish make big mistakes? I predicted the Team that loses the UNC-PITT game could have a mental letdown and I think Pitt Coaches & Players have confidence problem right now. I went with my Heart last week, but today I must go with my Head. Pitt can beat Notre Dame but until we see a Pitt Offense they may not beat Duke, ULou, or Miami either? It could be a blow out too, if Pitt players do not execute and the coaches are as bad as they both did against UNC? If Coach Narduzzi wants to have Pitt shine and go into the remainder games with confidence they better start having the Players execute on Offense!
Game Day Prediction:
19 Pitt NOTRE DAME 34
Preseason Prediction August 2015
Notre Dame:
The Irish are back and will be upset they lost last time to Pitt. The one weak spot may be the QB but it will be the 8th game? Sorry, cannot see Pitt winning even if they play a tough and good game. If Coach Pat has 6 wins by now, well, my prediction may change on game day?
Preseason Prediction:
Pitt- 24 Notre Dame-29 (6-3)
