Pitt football is keeping it simple for the regular season finale against Boston College.
Pitt is breaking out classic road uniforms for the contest against the Eagles, wearing gold helmets with a blue Cathedral stripe and blue Pitt script, blue jerseys with gold numbers and gold pants with a blue cathedral stripe down the leg.
Pitt will conclude its regular season at Memorial Stadium on Nov. 30. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. on The CW. The CW Network will be shown locally on WPNT-TV, channel 22, in Pittsburgh.

Boston College is sitting at 6-5 (3-4 ACC) this season, achieving bowl eligibility with a big 41-21 win against North Carolina over the weekend.
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.
But Pitt is coming off four straight losses as it stands, falling 37-9 to Louisville last weekend. Nate Yarnell is starting the regular season finale, and the Panthers have no excuses for not finishing the season strongly.
“It’s a game of life, right? This is a place we’ve been before,” Pat Narduzzi said Monday at his weekly presser. “As a matter of fact, I think last year we had a crappy season if I recall. We came back. And how do we do that? How do we come back on Senior Day and beat BC last year, last game of the season? I don’t have a clue how we did it, but we did. That’s kind of what happens.
“It’s a game. Sometimes you play good teams … We’re a damn good football team. We’ve got talent in that room. We’ve just got to put it all together. Like I said, when you’re snakebitten, or the perfect storm, but we just seem to not be able to stay healthy, especially on the offensive side of the ball, whatever it may be.”
Snakebitten? You were completely dominated in all phases of the game against Louisville. Offensive injuries don’t matter either with the way your defense is playing. Own up to it.
Bc 27-13 hopefully this is Narduzzi’s last game. He’s about to lose another 3 star 4 star on one service but this site of course says 4 star nobody but you guys would say that. I hope you guys will provide real analysis of things don’t be so bias. This program is a joke you don’t need to be part of the problem and pretend it isn’t run by an incompetent fool!
