The Pittsburgh Panthers travel to Blacksburg on Saturday for a huge ACC showdown with the Virginia Tech Hokies. The two rivals have played this series pretty evenly over the years, with the Hokies holding an 11-9 edge over the Panthers. However, the last three meetings between the two schools have been blowouts.

Can the Hokies win this game? Or will Pitt pull off a repeat of last season’s blowout?

I don’t have a good feeling about this game. Call it pessimism, call it realism, I don’t know.
