After a bye week, Pitt heads to Virginia Tech this weekend to face an always-difficult road opponent. Playing in Blacksburg is never an easy task, but as I wrote earlier when the game was announced, the Panthers at least don't have to deal with a night atmosphere down there.
Pitt won last year's game 21-16 at home but this time, will face the Hokies without James Conner. Conner didn't have a monster game against Virginia Tech last season, but did have 85 yards (averaging 5.3 per carry) and two touchdowns.
Here's this week's game preview.
