Bring on Notre Dame.

Pitt has put away Syracuse in the third quarter with two touchdown drives to go up 27-3. The Panthers could have more but have missed two field goals.

Ryan Nassib has been playing quarterback for Syracuse, but like Greg Paulus, he has thrown an interception. The Orange just don't have enough playmakers on offense to keep up in this game.

Pitt will improve to 8-1 and 5-0 in the Big East with the Fighting Irish coming to Heinz Field next week. The Panthers will need to sharpen up some of the special teams mistakes they have made today, but they look ready for what should be a matchup of two top 20 teams.
