Six weeks to go and the season is getting better and better. There are lots of teams that are getting good results and some of them that don’t. This time we have a short comment about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish that will play against the Pittsburg Panthers. This game is going to be held at the Heinz Field this Saturday and is going to start at 8:00 PM ET. The game is also going to be nation wide televised at ABC.
Notre Dame is not doing that well this season, they just lost big time and that was disappointing. Notre Dame’s spot in the Top 25 is gone after that surprising loss, and with that likely went its hopes of a trip to a BCS game.
Pittsburg has a really good winning record, achieving a 8-1 during the season and a 5-0 on toe conference. Boasting its highest ranking in 20 years, Pittsburgh’s chances of representing the Big East in a major bowl game are growing stronger by the week.
On the rushing we can see that Notre Dame is scoring more yards but Pittsburg Defense is more stronger, so, this is going to be a really interesting game because we will see how active is the offense of Notre Dame respect the High Defense of Pittsburg.
Notre Dame will certainly need to do a better job stopping Lewis than it did against the Midshipmen, who gained 6.1 yards per carry in racking up 348 on the ground. That, plus three Irish turnovers, allowed Navy to control the clock and overcome a career-high 452 yards passing from Jimmy Clausen. “It’s not about statistics at all,” said Clausen, the nation’s third-highest rated passer. “It’s about production and putting points on the board and at the end of the game coming up with a win. … It’s just heartbreaking right now.”
The biggest difference in Clausen this season has been his efficiency. Michael Floyd (124.8) and Golden Tate (117.7) rank third and fourth, respectively, in the nation in receiving yards per game, and Clausen has continued to find them without turning the ball over. He’s thrown three interceptions in 308 attempts after throwing 17 in 440 as a sophomore.
