Pittsburgh has completed their 2017 non-conference slate, the school announced earlier Wednesday.
Rice was the final team to join the Panthers’ schedule in 2017, taking part in a one-game deal at Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field on September 30.
The Panthers’ remaining 2017 non-league schedule is as follows:
9/2Â – Youngstown State
9/9Â – at Penn State
9/16Â – Oklahoma State
Pitt will play ACC home games with Miami, North Carolina, Virginia, and NC State, while going on the road to Duke, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, and Syracuse.
Rice was scheduled to play at Houston on September 30, 2017. Apparently Rice at Houston was moved to September 16, 2017, per http://www.riceowls.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/011216aaa.html
thats a pretty strong OOC schedule for Pitt
Agreed…that’s a pretty solid schedule. Two P5 opponents OOC…ONLY four games out of PA. Good job by Pitt’s AD.
I would love to see PITT keep Pen State and go with West Virginia and Ohio State as their noon conference games; tri state matchups and good teams could really improve their strength of schedule with the other ACC teams
I would love to see Pitt in the B1G. If not, then more games with Ohio State. We played often in the past. It would be a great regional matchup to revive the series.
i would love to see a Temple-Pitt matchup.
I agree playing regional powers is good for recruiting and for a traveling
fan base.
