#5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish @ Pittsburgh Panthers

PITTSBURGH -- Brian Kelly isn't ready to start politicking. The Notre Dame coach figures it's far too early to get caught up in the endless debate of "who's in, who's out" of the College Football Playoff. Still, considering the way the Irish's offense is humming at the moment, he might want to get a speech ready just in case. DeShone Kizer threw for five touchdowns and ran for another as Notre Dame (No. 5 CFP, No. 8 AP) bolstered its CFP resume with a relatively easy 42-30 win over Pitt. EDITOR'S PICKS DeShone Kizer has 6 total TDs as Notre Dame rolls at Pitt Notre Dame looked the part of a top-five team as quarterback DeShone Kizer helped the Irish take down Pitt on the road. Kizer completed 19 of 26 passes for 262 yards with no turnovers as the Irish (8-1) won their fourth straight. Will Fuller caught seven passes for 157 yards and three scores and Josh Adams ran for 147 yards and hauled in Kizer's final touchdown pass while filling in after senior C.J. Prosise left in the first quarter with a neck/shoulder/head injury and did not return. "Just another day at the office, honestly," Fuller said. "(Kizer) is going to throw the ball up there and I know it'll hit my hands." That's pretty much all it takes for Fuller to wind up in the end zone. His three scores gave him 12 on the season and 28 for his career, second in school history Michael Floyd's 37. "On the sidelines he's talking about `Get me the ball, I can score," Kelly said. "You can see the way he attacks the football out there and the way he runs, he's a guy that you want to get it to." Kizer certainly didn't waste any time, finding Fuller for a 47-yard strike on the game's third play. The two later hooked up for a 46-yard score late in the first half and a 14-yard touchdown in the third quarter to halt a surge by the Panthers (6-3). Notre Dame finished with 435 total yards even with Prosise sitting out the final 45 minutes after slamming into the ground following a 10-yard recept
