Ian Book completed 26 of 32 passes for 264 yards, two
touchdowns and two interceptions, and No. 5 Notre Dame rallied for a 19-14 win
over visiting Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon.
Chase Claypool and Miles Boykin each caught touchdown
passes for Notre Dame (7-0), which trailed 14-6 early in the second half before
ending the game with 13 unanswered points. The Fighting Irish defense withstood
a late comeback attempt by Pitt by forcing a turnover on downs.
Qadree Ollison rushed for a score and Maurice Ffrench had
a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown for Pitt (3-4). Kenny Pickett
completed 19 of 28 passes for 126 yards.
Notre Dame trailed for most of the game before grabbing
its first lead with 5:43 to go in the fourth quarter. Book lofted a 35-yard touchdown
pass to Boykin, who made an over-the-shoulder grab as he crossed the goal line.
That erased a 14-12 deficit and put the Fighting Irish on top 19-14.
Pitt opened the scoring with a 9-yard touchdown run by
Ollison late in the first quarter. Ollison took the snap in the wildcat
formation and sprinted up the middle for his sixth touchdown in seven games.
The play capped a relentless 17-play, 88-yard drive that chewed 9:43 off the
clock.
Notre Dame pulled within 7-6 at halftime. Justin Yoon
connected on field goals from 22 yards and 41 yards in the second quarter,
which moved him within six field goals of the school record held by Kyle
Brindza (57).
Pitt increased its advantage to 14-6 on the opening
kickoff of the second half. Ffrench fielded the kick just in front of his goal
line and followed his blockers up the middle before breaking free down the left
sideline for a 99-yard score.
The Fighting Irish pulled within 14-12 with 2:09
remaining in the third quarter. Claypool caught a quick pass on a slant route
and dove across the goal line. Book threw an incomplete pass on Notre Dame's
two-point attempt.
Jason Pinnock and Jazzee Stocker each had interceptions
for Pitt. Book was hit on the arm before his second interception, and the ball
fluttered into Stocker's arms for an easy pick.
