This coming weekend your Penn State Nittany Lions travel west on US 22 to take on the Pitt Panthers under the lights at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, PA. As a resident of the Pittsburgh metro, I have to say I’m ecstatic that I’ll get to see the two old rivals duke it out for the 99th time. A rivalry that has been historically very even, even if Pitt has fallen off since the 80s.
And that’s a big part of it for many Penn State fans: Pitt is not currently on the same tier as Penn State.
