The Pittsburgh quarterback situation

Pitt had four straight losses with previous QB1 Phil Jurkovec and felt they needed a personnel change. As a result, in came new starting quarterback Christian Veilleux, who had a solid effort in his last game against Wake Forest despite the team's loss.

Veilleux went 28-for-45 from the field while logging 302 passing yards and three touchdowns in the 17-21 defeat. And before that Wake Forest game, he also had an excellent performance in a win over Louisville--one of the only two teams that have beaten Notre Dame so far this season.

If his performance against the Cardinals is any indication (12-26, 200 pass yards, 2 TDs), then he could very well hold his own against Hartman at the very least. But then again, Sam Hartman is in the running for the Heisman--meaning Christian Veilleux will need to bring his A-game to trade blows.

The Notre Dame quarterback situation

Star QB Sam Hartman will be once again in charge of the Fighting Irish offense in the Pittsburgh vs Notre Dame tussle.

Currently, the team averages a total of 260.1 passing yards per game, wherein Hartman has thus far contributed a team-leading 1,838 passing yards this year. The former Wake Forest transfer also leads the team in passing TDs as expected (18). Hartman is considered one of the best QBs in the nation, and his stats definitely show it.

Hartman had an excellent game against USC and held his own against Heisman frontrunner Caleb Williams. He went 13-for-20 against the Trojans, logging 126 passing yards and two touchdowns. Safe to say, Pitt will have their hands full trying to contain him and Notre Dame's offense.
