Often, season openers are winnable games so that a team can begin to integrate new players and schemes against live action. Not in this case. With the launch of the ACC Network, there are several conference games during the opening weekend. This game will be the third aired by the ACC Network. Virginia’s September 14th game against FSU will also air on ACCN.
The Virginia Cavaliers are just 3-8 all-time against the Pitt Panthers. The last six of those games have come since Pitt joined the ACC, and the Hoos are just 1-5 with four straight losses.
