The mood around Pitt football is far different than it was just a week ago. But as the saying goes, winning heals everything. The Panthers just need to keep winning.
The ACC Network will once again be on the call for Pitt’s game this weekend, matching up with Wake Forest, and Jorge Sedano will handle play-by-play duties, Orlando Franklin will serve as his analyst and Marilyn Payne will report from the sideline.
Bill Hillgrove is back in the booth for 93.7 The Fan, with Pat Bostick serving as his analyst while Larry Richert and Dorin Dickerson will report from the field. Jeff Hathhorn, who has filled in for Hillgrove a couple of times earlier this season, is not on duty.
Pitt and Wake Forest will kick off at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, being played at Wake Forest’s Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C. And it will be just the second time that Pitt has ever played in Winston-Salem.
It will be another important game for Pitt, but unlike the last handful of games, it will come in the hopes of continuing a winning streak after knocking off No. 14 Louisville over the weekend.
The Demon Deacons are 3-3 this season, without a win in the ACC thus far (losses to Georgia Tech, Clemson and Virginia Tech), boasting a mid-tier offense and defense through the first half of the season, with wins over Elon, Vanderbilt and Old Dominion. The Deacons had an early bye week sandwiched around conference losses to Georgia Tech and Clemson.
Pitt has played Wake Forest twice in its history, and the last matchup came in the 2021 ACC championship game in Charlotte, N.C. — a 45-21 win capped by Erick Hallett winning MVP honors.
The two sides first met back in 2018, with Kenny Pickett throwing for 316 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-13 win at BB&T Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C.
