Pitt faces Georgia Tech on Saturday at Homecoming. While a lot of focus will be on the Panthers’ throwbacks, which will be worn for that contest, this is a big game for the team.
The Panthers will try to keep some momentum going after last week’s win against Marshall. No, the end wasn’t real pretty. But as I said then, 3-2 certainly beats what could have been 2-3.
FWIW, ESPN.com’s matchup predictor gives the advantage to the Panthers, giving Pitt about a 75% chance to win. Like Pitt, Georgia Tech has beaten the teams they were supposed to (Boston College, Mercer, and Vanderbilt) and lost to the better teams they’ve faced (Clemson and, most recently, Miami).
