Football: Pitt falls to Notre Dame, 15-12

With 6:48 remaining in the game, Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees found tight end Tyler Eifert in the end zone, and then hit him again for the two-point conversion to produce the final score.

For the second consecutive week, the Panthers lost a fourth quarter advantage as Pitt took its first lead of the game early in the third quarter.

After a roughing the kicker penalty gave the Panthers another chance, quarterback Tino Sunseri used a 10 yard rush and a 10 yard pass to wide receiver Mike Shanahan to help move them down the field.

Sunseri found tight end Hubie Graham in the end zone to put Pitt ahead 12-7. Backup quarterback Trey Anderson—who played one series in the first half—came in to attempt the two-point conversion but was unsuccessful.
