Game Preview: Iowa vs. Pittsburgh
Posted on 14 Sep 2011 by Debbie Baratz.
After Iowa's disappointing loss to Iowa State, the Hawkeyes will try to get a W on the home field Saturday against Pittsburgh at 11 a.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2. While not perceived as a great team, the visiting Panthers have scored 35 points in each of their last two games but struggled in last week's 35-29 win against Maine.

Pitt: Brandon Lindsey Interview
Posted on 28 May 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Going into the 2010 season, the Pitt Panthers football team had higher expectations than usual. Playing in a weaker conference, the Big East, as well as returning a boatload of talent, 2010 seemed to be BCS game or bust. While the team finished 8-5 overall (5-2 in conference) and earned a bid to the BBVA Compass Bowl against Kentucky, expectations were not met. Not everything about the s...

A Progressive Win For Notre Dame
Posted on 9 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
I received an email from a reader a few weeks ago referring to some of the most recent Irish performances as “Weisian.” I like the term and decided to define it as such: Weisian- losses that remind you of the Charlie Weis era (n.). So far, the year has been more Weisian then not. That was, until this week. Pittsburgh is not a good team. However, they are the best team the Irish has beaten. ...

Pittsburgh Shouldn’t Scare Irish
Posted on 9 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
If the Boston College game last week was a cake – walk and the Stanford game was the ultimate test, think of Saturday against Pittsburgh as that funky middle ground in between the two. Problem is, it’s really hard to gage which game it’s closer to. As mused earlier in the week in this space, “How good is Pitt?” has become one of the most thought – provoking que...

Notre Dame vs Pitt Preview
Posted on 7 Oct 2010 by Tim Lewis.
Fresh off the first road win of the Brian Kelly era, the Irish look to even up their record at 3-3 on Saturday as they host the Pittsburgh Panthers in South Bend. The last game of the first half of the season is a critical one for the Irish because a win would present a good opportunity to win 7 straight games prior to their finale against USC in the Memorial Coliseum of Los Angeles. Some may...
