Pitt Begins Defense Of ACC Title

PITTSBURGH (AP) – No. 24 Pittsburgh begins defense of its ACC title when it faces new-look Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are playing their first game under interim head coach Brent Key, who was promoted after Geoff Collins was fired following a 1-3 start. The Panthers are 3-1 through four games, weathering a slew of injuries in the process. Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi says his team’s success is a tribute to the depth the Panthers have built over the years. Pitt is led by junior running back Israel Abanikanda, who has averaged 154 yards rushing over his last three games.
