Pitt set to battle in-state rival Penn State on Saturday

On Saturday, Pitt defeated Albany in the season opener, dominating the game in a 33-7 win. Suffice to say, this weekend will present a significantly tougher challenge.

Pitt welcomes in-state rival Penn State to Heinz Field this Saturday. I’m not going to get into the tired discussion of it not being a rivalry, etc. Anyone with a lick of sense realizes it is and, whether or not you personally think this game should be played, all you have to do is head to Twitter to see the back and forth between fanbases that runs on a year-round basis.
