Pitt football is set for its annual appearance on The CW.
The ACC announced Monday that will conclude its regular season against Boston College at Memorial Stadium on Nov. 30. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m., with The CW Network set to broadcast the matchup.
The CW Network will be shown locally on WPNT-TV, channel 22, in Pittsburgh.
Boston College is sitting at 5-5 (2-4 ACC) this season, needing one more win to secure bowl eligibility. The Eagles are coming off a 38-28 loss to SMU on the road, and there’s been a shakeup at quarterback.
Thomas Castellanos, who started the majority of the last two seasons at quarterback, was benched and subsequently left the program. Backup Grayson James is the starter moving forward.
The Panthers are 18-15 all-time against the Eagles, dating back to an inaugural win in Boston way back in 1959. After losing two back-to-back games in 1970 and 1971, Pitt won eight straight matchups into the early 80s.
Boston College was the better team in the 1990s, losing just twice, but Pitt is 6-3 since the turn of the century. However, the Eagles did win the last two matchups in 2019 and 2020.
Pitt knocked Boston College, 24-16, at Acrisure Stadium behind a 145-yard, 1-touchdown performance from Rodney Hammond Jr.
Pitt is coming off its third straight loss of the season, falling to No. 20 Clemson at Acrisure Stadium. It was a frustrating, mistake-filled afternoon in which the Panthers had a victory within reach and let it slip away.
Pat Narduzzi, as he’s done all season, said the Panthers will bounce back with two games remaining on the schedule.
“Yeah, they’re not going to lose confidence after what they did out there today,” Narduzzi said Saturday. “We’ve got a good football team in there and we played a good football team. They aren’t crappy. We’ve got a darned good football team, and we just keep our heads up. We’ve got two more guaranteed games and then we’ll move on from there.
“We’ve got a really good Louisville team on the road, and then we’ve got to pick up the pieces, and our guys will do that. They were great in the locker room afterwards. It’s the game of football. It’s what we do.”
