Much like last week’s opponent, the Boston College Eagles, the Pittsburgh Panthers first became rivals of Virginia Tech back in 1993 when they were all members of the Big East. The Hokies won the first four meetings—and seven of the first eight—as conference foes. Tech lost the final three meetings before departing for the ACC after the 2003 season.
The schools didn’t meet again until 2012, when the Panthers followed the Hokies to the ACC. The two schools have met every year since, with each school winning three times. So, overall, Virginia Tech is 10-7 all-time against Pitt.
