Football season is officially here and Pitt will open this Saturday with a game against Albany.
On the surface, this looks like it should be an easy contest for the Panthers. Albany was only 4-7 last year and the Great Danes are only an FCS program. But if you’ve been following openers in the Pat Narduzzi era, you know that we could be in for a nail-biter.
Narduzzi’s claim to fame in season openers has been his teams’ lackluster performances. In his Pitt debut in 2015, Pitt needed to win a shootout over FCS team Youngstown State, 45-37.
