This game unfortunately was between two teams that were not ranked on September 24th. Although, after Notre Dame has won their last two games they are gaining points in the rankings. They started the year off as number 16 in the nation. Pittsburgh wasn't ranked at the beginning of the season, but they had gotten some considerable coverage by the poll-masters, receiving points before even playing a game. Pittsburgh ended up losing a game, and with their already damaged rank, it didn't help.
I decided that since this game was very boring that I am going to cover the season that Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees is having so far. Tommy Rees is a sophomore that started to see starts as early as halfway through his freshman year. In his freshman year Rees played his first game against Navy on October 15th 2010, although a loss he fought back through the season, winning the rest of the games in that season and also leading his team to play in the Hyundai Sun Bowl and beating Miami Florida for his first championship as a collegiate athlete. Fast forward to 2011, Tommy Rees and his team has lost 2 and won 2 games. In 2010 he threw for 1106 yards, with 12 touchdown and 8 interceptions. In 2011 Tommy Rees has shown that he can step up as a leader for his team, having thrown 988 yards, 7 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions. Mind you, this is in only 4 games and there is still 11 weeks of the season left. By his Senior year he will be a top notch NCAA quarterback.
