Pitt hitting road early, often to start ’15 season
PITTSBURGH – New Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi won’t have to wait long to see how the Panthers will handle hostile environments. Pitt will play five of its first seven games of the 2015 season on the road.
The Panthers open at home Sept. 5 against Youngstown State and former Nebraska coach Bo Pelini. Pitt then has a stretch of five road games in six weeks, including nonconference games at Akron and Iowa. The Panthers begin ACC play at Virginia Tech Oct. 3.
Pitt plays four of its final five games at Heinz Field, including a nationally televised showdown with North Carolina on Oct. 29. The Panthers also face Notre Dame at home Nov. 7 and wrap up the regular season against Louisville Nov. 21 and Miami Nov. 27.
