Pitt stands at 5-2 after beating the Virginia Cavaliers at their place down in Charlottesville, VA. The final score was 45-31 and a 14 point win is good in anyone’s books – especially since in came against a conference opponent.
With that we are 2-1 in ACC play losing to North Carolina then beating Georgia Tech and now Virginia. We play eight conference games per season and for the home stretch that is all we play – so every game means something.
Can’t take away anything from the nice Villanova and Penn State wins but they are window dressing wins compared to the task at hand. Very nice window dressing with the PSU win of course.
But moving forward we start to get into the meat of the ACC contests. North Carolina was a tough match and they are considered one of the better ACC Coastal Division teams, but after this bye week we have Virginia Tech at home then follow that with two very hard games against Miami and Clemson – both on the road.
