For the second time this year, Pitt has been forced to pause all football activities in order to comply with COVID-19 protocols. The first time was a brief and inconsequential pause during training camp in August. This time, the pause will impact Pitt’s schedule, as the team has moved its matchup with Georgia Tech from this coming Saturday to Dec. 12.
“While I know our team was excited and prepared to play a game on Saturday, this is the right and responsible decision for our student-athletes and staff,” Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi said in a statement. “We have great doctors at Pitt and they have given us the very best guidance throughout this entire pandemic.
