Notre Dame football is back on campus after an off week in the schedule and fall break from classes. The No. 14 Irish (6-2) are gearing up for a two-game stretch before another off week that starts with a home game against a struggling Pittsburgh team (2-5). But the Panthers, led by head coach Pat Narduzzi, typically play competitive against the Irish.
The last time Pitt came to Notre Dame Stadium in 2018, Miles Boykin scored the game-winning touchdown on a 35-yard pass from Ian Book in the fourth quarter. So Eric Hansen and Tyler James invited the former Notre Dame wide receiver onto this week’s Inside ND Sports podcast. Boykin is playing his second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers after starting his career with three seasons for the Baltimore Ravens.
On the podcast, Boykin discussed being back at ND for the USC game, what it was like playing against a Narduzzi-led Pitt team, his game-winning touchdown catch against Pitt in 2018, ND's wide receivers, the patience required with development, what it takes to play as a freshman, getting out of a funk as WR, quarterback Sam Hartman's pro prospects, Boykin's game-winning touchdown against LSU, playing on both sides of the Steelers-Ravens rivalry, talking trash to Steelers QB Kenny Pickett and more.
Then Hansen and James answered questions from Twitter and The Insider Lounge (20:00).
