I know it’s early, but I had to point this out. Over at the Unofficial Home of Notre Dame, they already have their Pitt game preview going.

In it, they recap last year’s fantastic game. Here’s a snippet:

Despite all this, Notre Dame had a chance in the end after tying the score at 38 with a little over a minute to go. Poor pass coverage and poor officiating let Pitt march down the field and kick the winning field goal with 1 second remaining.

I’m trying to figure out what the poor officiating was on the final drive, since no penalties were called. Last year, after the game, Domers were whining about the officiating (among other things). Apparently they aren’t going to let go of that.

I’m hoping when the boys at Blue-Gray Sky get to their Pitt preview, they are a little more honest.

Worth noting, that Pitt hasn’t beaten Notre Dame in back-to-back games since 1986 and 1987 — Lou Holtz’s first 2 years.
