Pitt lost to Notre Dame in embarrassing fashion on Saturday, falling 58–7. It was the Panthers’ biggest loss in the rivalry matchup since losing 60–6 in 1996.
After the game, Panthers coach Pat Narduzzi got himself in a bit of hot water when he told media that his roster did not have the talent to replace departures from last year’s team.
“You lose a lot of good players a year ago, you think as a coach you’re going to replace them, we obviously haven’t,” Narduzzi said. “It starts with me. I didn’t do a good enough job of coaching today. Put it on me. We’ve got to make plays. It comes down to making plays and doing a better job of coaching.”
