I should just be normal and watch Alabama/Georgia, but something about Syracuse starting a third string QB with a potential Eli Holstein appearance ultimately is going to grab my attention
- Pitt lost to 2-2 UNC team at home after starting 5-0 - VT lost to a backup QB for second game in a row after 4-0 start - Duke lost to 1-3 Georgia Tech team after starting 4-0. The ACC can't have nice things.

Time of Possession so far... Pitt — 17:04 Carolina — 5:10 Seems to be a rather direct approach to what they are trying to do...
Pitt brought in La'Vell Wright to be a short-yardage option. Wright has three touchdowns this season on runs of 2 yards, 1 yard and another two-yarder just now.
I don't know much, but throwing your helmet into the stands feels like something that should be assessed a penalty, right?

Holden Geriner has been named the starting QB for Pitt this week
The loss of Mason Heintschel can't be understated, but outside of Miami...the combined record of Pitt's other six remaining opponents is 12-16 Still something on the table for the 5-0 Panthers? I kind of think there is.
Heintschel's loss is sizable, yet opportunity still exists for Pitt
