Pittsburgh vs. Notre Dame, Ohio State vs. Wisconsin headline College Football on NBC Week 9 slate
With the college football season in full swing, NBC Sports and Peacock present a college football double-header featuring some of the top teams in the nation on Saturday, October 28th.
The No. 15 Notre Dame Fighting Irish will host the Pittsburgh Panthers at 3:30 p.m. while the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes will visit the Wisconsin Badgers at 7:30 p.m., with both games being aired on NBC and streamed on Peacock.
Here are the storylines for NBC and Peacock's Week 9 college football double-header:
Pittsburgh @ No. 15 Notre Dame – 3:30 p.m. - NBC
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (6-2), who have two ranked wins on the year, will host the Pittsburgh Panthers (2-4) in South Bend. The Irish have played in some of college football's biggest games this season, including wins over USC and Duke along with a home loss to now-No. 21 Louisville.
The Notre Dame offense is led by veteran quarterback Sam Hartman and running back Audric Estime, who currently ranks fourth in the nation with 787 rushing yards through eight games. The Irish defense is also limiting opponents to just 18.3 points per game, a top-20 rank in the nation.
Pittsburgh has had a disappointing start thus far, but ironically enough defeated Louisville — the team that gave Notre Dame one of its two losses — 38-21 in Week 7. Pat Narduzzi, and the Panthers, along with newly-promoted quarterback Christian Veilleux, will look to upset the Fighting Irish on the road in Week 9.
