Last week, UConn football announced a future series against the University of Pittsburgh for 2027 and 2028, reviving a solid rivalry from the Big East. The Huskies will travel to Acrisure Stadium to face off against the Panthers on October 30, 2027, and will host them the following year at Rentschler Field.
The last time these two programs faced off was in 2012, before Pitt left the Big East to join the ACC. With the Huskies holding a 5-4 advantage in their nine all-time meetings, the series will bring back memories of a competitive rivalry in the now-defunct football league.
