Pitt football faces a big opening test in Virginia

Game week is officially here for the Pitt football team. This year, of course, opens with a bit of a wrinkle.

Like most teams, the Panthers typically open with a lesser opponent. That hasn’t always been the case nor has it even always gone well when it has been. But for the most part, Pitt has usually begun its seasons with an easier game.

That isn’t the case in this season’s opener as Pitt will face a tough in conference opponent in Virginia.

Now, Virginia isn’t Clemson and after seeing the Hurricanes nearly take down top ten Florida this weekend, I’m not even sure they’re Miami.
