ShamTalk Podcast: What can Irish fans expect from Phil Jurkovec?

Irish junior wide receiver Chase Claypool dives for the end zone during Notre Dame’s 19-14 win over Pitt on Oct. 13, 2018, at Notre Dame Stadium.


The Observer and NDTV’s ShamTalk podcast returns for another week. Observer senior sports writer and NDTV president Jake Miller, Observer associate sports editor and NDTV director of vision J.J. Post and Observer associate sports editor and NDTV member Tyler Reidy set the stage for Notre Dame's penultimate home game of 2023 against Pitt. What may seem like a mundane clash features two figures with plenty of history with the Irish in Panthers head coach Pat Narduzzi and quarterback-turned-tight-end Phil Jurkovec coming into South Bend. It also presents an opportunity for the Irish to get back on track against the ACC in their first game against the conference since falling to Louisville.
