It isn’t too often that games against 1-8 opponents are big but here we are.
Pitt’s football team plays a ‘big’ game this week, facing a 1-8 North Carolina team at home. It’s a big one because it’s one of the rare times this season that the team is in the national spotlight. The game is on Thursday night and the Panthers will have the full attention of the country in a prime time game on ESPN.
More importantly, it’s a big one because of where the Panthers sit as a team. At 4-5, no one would argue that this has been a great year.
