At 3-1, the Panthers are off to a fine start to the season. It should go without saying, but the Panthers can ill afford a disappointing loss against Virginia this Saturday.
Pitt was in a similar situation last year, you might recall. The circumstances were slightly different as the Panthers suffered a loss to Iowa in their fourth game, but the team was also 3-1 and off to a solid start to the season at this point last year. Facing a beatable opponent at home in Akron, the Panthers looked poised to begin the season 4-1.
What happened next was a complete disaster and with a loss the following week to Virginia, the Panthers suddenly found themselves at 3-3.
