OT (?) Notre Dame Uncalled Penalty On Field Goal Last Night
I saw this on twitter and thought it was worth mentioning on here..
Upon further review, No. 2 Chris Brown and No. 2 Bennett Jackson were both on the field when Pitt kicker Harper missed the game-winner.

They also caught a break when their d-lineman dove to intercept that tipped pass, didn't catch it, and then proceeded to pick the ball up and spike it. No call.

Was a helmet to helmet hit on the QB that would of let Pitt keep the ball for a 1st late in the 4rth. Instead they gave the irish the ball with plenty of time.

To hell with Notre Dame.

However, the field goal was stilled missed. I am the biggest Pitt fan that never attended Pitt, or I've never met one who compares. He would've missed the FG had the numbers been different. We can't cry about a flag like that. Why can't everyone have different numbers?

More than 100 players, less than 100 numbers between 1 and 99.

With that said, doesn't it seem that ND has a lot of repeat numbers on the field.
ie. #5?
I don't see any 16's on our defense. it seems a little more prevelant on their team

While watching the game I also heard several faint whistles which I assumed came from the crowd. I remember some of the fans blew fake whistles during the Michigan game, too, and the referees didn't adress it at all.

Playing against ND in football is like playing against Duke in basketball. You know the refs are going to let the other team mug you on either side of the ball, while you get called for for non-existent "penalties" at inopportune times.
This year, ND is finally good enough to take advantage of their advantage. Yogi Berra approves of this message.

About the fact that at the end of the 3rd quarter, Pitt missed an opportunity to put the game away with a TD with 1st and goal at ND's 2 or 3 yard line. They didn't score a TD and settled for an FG and that combined with an inability to ice the game at the end was why we (I'm an alum, I'm allowed to say we) lost. These ND penalties are just salt in that wound.
