After a 2-0 start, Pitt heads into its first real challenge of the season this weekend against Iowa.
It's not that the Panthers went untested in its first two games. The Panthers beat Youngstown State by only seven and trailed 7-3 late in the second quarter before pulling away for a 24-7 win against Akron this weekend. But in Iowa, Pitt will face a legitimate P5 program and, for the first time this season, will play a major-conference team.
Iowa, too, is 2-0 having beaten both Illinois State and Iowa State. The magic number for the Hawkeyes has been 31.
