PITT (5-3, 2-2 ACC) vs. GEORGIA TECH (2-5, 1-3 ACC)
November 2, 2019 • 4 p.m., ET
Bobby Dodd Stadium (55,000/Natural Grass) • Atlanta, Ga.
RSN • Pitt Panthers Radio Network
Game Storylines
• Pitt travels to Atlanta for a Saturday encounter with Coastal Division foe Georgia Tech. The Panthers own a 2-2 record in ACC play and are looking to keep pace with Coastal leaders Virginia and North Carolina (both 3-2).
• Since Pitt's inaugural ACC season in 2013, the Panthers and Yellow Jackets have split six conference meetings with three wins apiece. Under Pat Narduzzi, however, the Panthers are 3-1 against Georgia Tech (since 2015).
• The Panthers are in the midst of a remarkable string of tight games. Each of their past six contests has been decided by one score—an average margin of 4.2 points per game. Pitt is 4-2 during this stretch.
• Since taking over as Pitt's head coach in 2015, Pat Narduzzi has directed the Panthers to 22 victories in ACC play, trailing only Clemson (36) and Miami (23) during this span.
• Pitt's defense is playing at its highest level in recent memory. Pitt ranks among the nation's top 25 units in no fewer than seven defensive categories. Pitt is surrendering just 291 yards per game to rank 14th nationally in total defense.
• Pitt boasts the country's top pass rush. The Panthers lead the nation in total sacks (38) and sacks per contest (4.75). Defensive end Patrick Jones II and tackle Jaylen Twyman lead Pitt with seven sacks each.
• The Panthers have the most productive pass-catching duo in the country. Maurice Ffrench (64) and Taysir Mack (48) have combined for 112 receptions this season, the most of any Football Bowl Subdivision receiving duo.
• A win at Georgia Tech would give the Panthers a sixth victory on the season, earning them bowl eligibility. Pitt has gone bowling in 15 of the past 19 seasons since 2000.
