ATLANTA, Ga. -- Pat Narduzzi accomplished the goal of coaching Pitt to win its first ever ACC Championship. It put Pitt in the national spotlight and proved the Panthers could finish strong in a season and wouldn't just falter against average ACC opponents to squander opportunities to set up bigger games.
But after the conference title, Kenny Pickett finishing third in Heisman Trophy voting, Jordan Addison winning Pitt's third Biletnikoff Award, several All-American and All-ACC accolades, Pitt's still hungry to prove itself on a national stage. All those victories and efforts have gotten them to the Peach Bowl to face No.
