For the second season in a row, Tennessee’s first test of the season will come against the Pittsburgh Panthers. The Volunteers will return the favor, travelling to Pitt for the second game of the Johnny Majors Classic series. Heinz Field will play host, and ABC will carry the coverage with kickoff set for 3:30 p.m. ET on September 10th.
Pittsburgh is coming off of a fantastic 2021, going 11-3 overall and capturing the ACC crown. It was a bit of a perfect storm for the Panthers, who enjoyed one final year of quarterback Kenny Pickett while Clemson had a big down year.
