Welcome to Irish Illustrated Overtime.

I'm Tim O'Malley, joined by John Bryce of Football Scoop.

And John, 530 yards of total offense, five turnovers created, and three non-offensive touchdowns.

That will add up to a 58 to 7 win when you're already the much better

team. That's what Notre Dame was heading into this game against Pittsburgh today.

And it was the second half celebration, really, 17 nothing at the half and then an absolute

obliteration of the Panthers in the second stanza. And, you know, we were really close to seeing

that obliteration completely unfold in the first half, despite it being relatively close.

And Notre Dame only pushing it to 17 nothing at the half on the last play of the half with that

Spencer Schrader field goal. You never felt like the Irish were not in command. And again, as we noted

earlier, Sam Hartman, 8 of 10 in the first quarter, had a couple of unfortunate interceptions, one ball, a tipped ball.

One ball, Rico Flores got completely redirected.

It almost looked like a hockey check, no penalty.

And then the pick guy undercut the throw and made a great pick after he'd gotten away with the hook there.

But again, a complete performance for Notre Dame.

You get 288 passing yards from Sam Hartman, but two picks and no touchdowns.

And without seeing the final score, you hear those numbers and you think, man, I bet Notre Dame was in a dog fight.

No, Notre Dame ran the dogs all over Pittsburgh today.

Yeah, it's interesting.

I just, I want to pull up the drive chart. It was even better than I thought for Notre Dame, but more frustrating for Notre Dame fans at home,

even probably when you think about this.

Here's where Notre Dame ended their drives.
