Notre Dame has secured a key piece for its defensive line rebuild, landing former Pitt defensive tackle Francis Brewu via the transfer portal on January X, 2026. The 6-2, 280-pound sophomore announced his commitment to the Fighting Irish, reuniting with new defensive line coach Charlie Partridge, who originally recruited him out of high school to the Panthers.

Notre Dame’s trio of Hannah Hidalgo, Iyana Moore, and Cassandre Prosper outscored Pitt by themselves with a combined 71 points. Hidalgo led the way offensively with another 30-point outing when her three-point shot was not falling. Prosper forced eight Pitt turnovers as she clamped the Panthers on the perimeter and down low, all while contributing 18 points on an efficient shooting night.

Coming into this game, there was a lot of weirdness to start the week with Pitt Head Coach Pat Narduzzi stating that "It is not an ACC game. I'd gladly get beaten 103 or 110 -10 in that game. They could put up 100 on us as long as we win the next two after that."

Notre Dame and Pitt are set to square off tomorrow at Noon in a College Football Gameday affair with both teams' playoff hopes hanging in the balance. Despite that, Pat Narduzzi's Panthers could lose by 100 and he won't bat an eye, apparently. Narduzzi's disdain for the Irish is well-documented over the years and is once again at the center of attention in a game that draws national spectacle. Let's dive into our staff predictions!

Notre Dame gears up for what should be their biggest remaining test of the season. With playoff chances on the line, this is a "must-win" for the Irish, and it will serve as their last chance to perform well against another ranked opponent. Let's take a look at the matchups that favor the Irish, as well as the ones that don't. Advantages Notre Dame Passing Attack vs. Pitt Passing Secondary Overall, the Pitt defense is a pretty good unit, ranking in the top 40 in most defensiv

Irish RB Jeremiyah Love, a potential Heisman candidate, could be tasked with his biggest test since last season’s National Championship against Ohio State. While Pitt’s secondary has been prone to mistakes, their run defense is among the best in the country, with good run-stoppers at nearly every level. The Panthers’ ability to limit opposing teams' top rushers has no doubt been a factor in their current five-game winning streak.

Seven days after not being asked to do much against Navy’s heavy-run attack, Notre Dame's middling pass defense will be tasked with a challenge this week against Pitt’s pass-heavy offense. Following back-to-back early-season losses, the Panthers benched second-year starting QB Eli Holstein in favor of freshman Mason Heintschel. Since the move, both the offense and wins have picked up with Pitt entering this weekend 5-0 with Heintschel leading the way.

As fall camp creeps around the corner, it is a perfect time for Notre Dame fans to begin to comprehend the path that lies ahead of them in 2025.

Notre Dame’s season will live on for at least one more day as they sent home Pitt in a 55-54 victory that came down to the very last second.
