At 3-0, Pitt’s football season couldn’t have gone much better. Next up is a game against NC State on Saturday.
The Wolfpack (1-1) have been a little good and a little bad. NC State squeaked out a 45-42 win over Wake Forest in their opener but then were routed by Virginia Tech last weekend. The game against the Hokies is notable because Virginia Tech was missing 23 players and coaches due to COVID restrictions, including their starting quarterback. I expected a much closer game but those absences hardly mattered in an ugly 45-24 loss.
NC State has had big problems defensively, already giving up 87 points in their first two contests.
