History
This storied series began in 1909, and there have been no more than two consecutive seasons without two teams meeting each other except between 1913-29, 1938-42, and 1979-81. Since 1982, the Panthers and Irish have remained a relative fixture on each other's schedules. Notre Dame leads the series 48-21-1. The longest game in Notre Dame history occurred between the two schools in 2008, when Pitt defeated ND in a record 4 overtimes by a field goal. The 2012 contest saw Notre Dame erase a 20-6 deficit in the fourth quarter and force overtime. The Irish won 29-26 in triple overtime after the Panthers narrowly missed a game-winning field goal in the second overtime. In 2013 both schools joined the ACC (Pitt for all sports including football, and Notre Dame for non-football sports), which led to the schools playing at least once every three years. Their ACC matches began in 2013 in Pittsburgh with a 28-21 Panthers win; the most recent game was a 42-30 Irish win in 2015. The game often gets a large amount of national media attention and most often is televised on major television channels like NBC (when Notre Dame is the home team), ABC, and ESPN.
