Notre Dame faces Pittsburgh in a crucial game for playoff hopes, with the Fighting Irish favored by 12.5 points. Both teams have strong rush defenses, but the outcome may hinge on passing offenses and third-down conversions. Notre Dames improved pass rush could pressure Pittsburghs quarterback, Mason Heintschel, and boost the Irishs secondary. Red zone performance contrasts, with Notre Dame scoring touchdowns more frequently but also leaving points on the board. Kicking could be a factor, particularly for Notre Dame, who may opt for fourth-down conversions over field goals.The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
