I've been following their season a bit, because Paul Chryst was the Badgers' OC for a long time, and I want to see him succeed. If I'm remembering right, he's already suspended 6 players indefinitely.
So now he's got 3 players charged with assault. His top receiver and top runningback were involved. And this right before they go into South Bend. I'm pretty disappointed because I was considering Notre Dame to be on the upset watch list. Paul Chryst is an offensive genius, and it really looked like the Panthers were buying into his system. I don't think they can beat Notre Dame without their star players, though, and it would really be unlike Chryst to let them play.
The only thing that may save the players is that they are still innocent until proven guilty. Personally, though, this was one game I was planning to watch. Notre Dame's defense seems great. If they can mangle an offensive minded coach with a QB who has been really playing smart football, I'll be a lot more impressed. Even if Pitt is only .500.
Here's a clip from the story though.

According to the complaint, Karl Olsheski, Diana Olsheski and Samantha Mitchell told police they were walking along a street in Oakland, the neighborhood where the university is located, when a group of Pitt football players walked into their path from the opposite direction about 12:30 a.m. Oct. 21.
At the time, Karl Olsheski told police he didn't want to see the players arrested, but did want police to stop the group "so they wouldn't repeat their aggressions at other pedestrians," a criminal complaint said.
Police dispersed the groups and Olsheski and the females returned to a city police station that afternoon to report the incident in more detail. At that time, Diana Olsheski told police she recognized the players as Graham, Street and Pitts.
Karl Olsheski told police that Graham confronted him by saying, "What's up?" along with a racial slur. Olsheski said he tried to walk away but that Graham and Street blocked his way and Pitts kept him from retreating.
