Virginia Tech and Pitt bring matching 4-0 records into ACC clash
Yahoo Sports’ preview picks the Hokies at home, citing their pass rush and Pitt’s penalty count ahead of Friday’s game.
Pitt and Virginia Tech are scheduled to meet on Friday, 2 October, at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, with both teams reported as 4-0. Yahoo Sports’ preview casts the fixture as a significant ACC matchup, with the winner gaining an advantage in the conference.
The preview says Virginia Tech has started 4-0 for the first time since 2017. Pitt opened the 2024 season 7-0, according to the same account.
Virginia Tech’s 17 sacks are central to the preview’s case for a home win. It says Pitt has been penalised eight times against UCF, eight against Syracuse and 16 against Bucknell, and argues mistakes could matter in a close game.
Special teams may also shape the contest, the preview says. Pitt kicker Antonio Chadha is yet to miss, while Virginia Tech’s John Love is six-for-six.
Yahoo Sports predicts Virginia Tech will get a late boost from playing at home. The source text ends during that prediction; it provides no final score.
