After a string of frustrating (Boston College, NC State), expected but still frustrating (Miami), and embarrassing (Notre Dame) losses, Pitt’s football team has looked much more impressive in the past two games.
The Panthers (5-4) beat Florida State by 24 points then turned around and beat an even better Virginia Tech team by 33. But Pitt has a tall order this weekend against Clemson (7-1).
Part of Pitt’s ‘problem’ is that Clemson desperately needs this game if they want to play for the ACC title. The Tigers already lost head to head against Notre Dame so a loss here could drop them below Miami.
