If you’ve ever wondered whether the college football world is paying attention to the Pitt-Penn State rivalry on a national scale, wonder no more.
Their Week 2 matchup this season Sept. 8 at Heinz Field has been selected as ABC’s Saturday Night Football game of the week, kicking off at 8 p.m. on the national network. The third installment in the four-year renewed series will be the final one played in Western Pennsylvania for the foreseeable future, but at least it will be under the lights and broadcast for the whole country to see. ESPN will make the official announcement later Wednesday.
