Pitt’s football team has clinched an appearance in the ACC championship game next weekend against Clemson. But the regular season isn’t yet over and the Panthers (7-4) have one more challenge before that contest as they travel to Miami this weekend.
The Hurricanes (6-5) should provide a stiff test. A small piece of good news is that the Hurricanes have already earned a postseason appearance with their sixth win last week with a big 38-14 win over Virginia Tech. That victory snapped a four-game losing streak for the Canes after they began the season 5-1. I don’t think you ever want to face a team needing a win in their last contest to reach a bowl game and fortunately, Pitt dodged that bullet thanks to the Hokies laying an egg.
