Pitt Football Going ‘Blue on Blue’ Against Cal

Pitt is just over 24 hours from kickoff against Cal, and the Panthers have unveiled the uniform combo.

Pitt is breaking out a “blue on blue” combo for Cal, wearing gold helmets with a blue Cathedral stripe and blue Pitt script, blue jerseys with white numbers and blue pants with a gold cathedral stripe down the leg.

Pitt is ranked for the first time since the end of the 2022 season, checking in at No. 22 in the latest AP Poll, and expectations are growing. But the Panthers aren’t trying to look too far ahead.

Pat Narduzzi isn’t worried about being ranked or looking ahead to the rest of the season; he’s focused on Cal coming to town this weekend.

“Worried about Cal,” Pat Narduzzi said Saturday afternoon. “You know, we were breaking down on beat Cal in the locker room before the dancing and celebration goes on. But we’re on to the next, we’ll enjoy this for the evening and then tomorrow morning get back to work, work on the next.”

Pitt is undefeated largely because of an offense scoring 45.6 points per game and averaging 522.2 yards per game — both of which are top six in all of FBS football. Eli Holstein has completed 113-of-172 pass attempts (65.7%) for 1,567 yards with 15 touchdowns and three interceptions — adding 265 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

Desmond Reid has been an all-around weapon, racking up 62 carries for 347 yards and a touchdown, 24 receptions for 322 yards and four touchdowns and a 78-yard punt return touchdown.

The Pitt defense hasn’t met its lofty standards yet this season, allowing 25.2 points per game, but the unit has stepped up when it’s mattered late in games. The Panthers forced four turnover on downs against UNC.

Pitt is hosting a Cal squad at Acrisure Stadium that suffered a controversial loss to Miami last weekend. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
