With a disappointing loss to Syracuse on Saturday, Pitt drops to 2-4 on the season. Things don’t get any easier this weekend as the Panthers will face No. 20 North Carolina State.
Pitt gets the game at home and will have its Homecoming festivities. But the Panthers won’t have an easy time with the Wolfpack. North Carolina State has been one of the surprise teams in the conference and, at 5-1, is playing really well.
Things are complicated for Pitt by the fact that they will be without starting quarterback Max Browne. It isn’t known how long he’ll be out but head coach Pat Narduzzi said after the Syracuse game that he is expected to be out for at least a couple of weeks.
