Terrible turf warning and a weird start time for this one. Pitt should be a much better test of where we are as a team after yesterday. Somebody needs to pull the River CIty Rivalry trophy out of storage for this. I'd like to beat Pitt on their own field just for helping pull the rug out from under the Big East.
Pitt is mostly reliant on QB Phil Jurkovec who transferred in from BC. He's a mostly a pocket passer that threw for 214yds against FCS Wofford yesterday in a 45-7 victory for the Panthers. It's hard to tell against FCS teams but it looks like a pretty balanced attack and running back by committee.
Here's the box score from Wofford:

It's almost too early in the season for comparitive stats between UC and Pitt but on paper we had the better offense this past weekend.
ESPN predictor is only giving us a 40% chance of winning and I think that's probably wrong.
TV for this game is a national (?) broadcast on the CW Network. This is the first time we've ever played a game on that network. CW is available over the air locally with an antenna, on cable TV or through streaming services (in theory). I think we established that Raycom Sports is handling this non conference broadcast for the ACC. I have no idea what announcers we're going to get or how good the broadcast will be, etc. Can't be any worse than playing Marshall on Facebook Watch Live though.
