Pitt to open up ACC play against rival Syracuse
Thursday promised to be a big night at Acrisure Stadium as the Pitt Panthers opened up ACC play against Syracuse.
The University of Pittsburgh football team will begin ACC play against Syracuse at Acrisure Stadium on Thursday, according to a promise made by head coach Pat Narduzzi. The Panthers aim to start their season at 3-0, while the Syracuse Orange enter the matchup at 1-1. The two teams have a strong history, with Pitt holding a 20-4 advantage in the last 24 meetings, including their most recent face-off on a Thursday night in 2024.
Narduzzi emphasized that while the rivalry is significant, it's just another game and must be approached with the same intensity as any other. The key to recent success for the Panthers has been generating turnovers; in their last two matchups, they forced a combined eight turnovers.
