Later today, Pitt will host the Akron Zips in the Panthers' first contest of the season. Last week, the Panthers lost to Iowa after a subpar 2nd half, and the team will be hoping to rebound today to get to 4-1 on the season.
The game gives Pitt another chance to pad their record before a big matchup against Virginia next weekend. It goes without saying, but this isn't a game the Panthers can afford to lose. And at home, with a big rushing game against one of the nation's poor run defenses, it's really difficult to envision Pitt having much trouble with the Zips - particularly at home.
Below is the key information for today's game.
