Pittsburgh improved to a 5‑0 record after a 35‑33 win over Virginia Tech on Friday night, a result that came in the form of an upset over the Hokies.
The victory was a highlight for head coach Pat Narduzzi, who used the win to lobby for his unranked team in the upcoming Associated Press Top 25 poll. “We’ve got a helluva football team,” Narduzzi told reporters, emphasizing the Panthers’ performance against a ranked opponent.
With the win, the Panthers’ undefeated streak has kept them in the conversation for national recognition, even though they remain outside the top 25. The close scoreline underscored the competitive nature of the game, with Pittsburgh managing to edge out Virginia Tech by a narrow margin.
As the season progresses, the Panthers will look to maintain their momentum and secure a place in the national rankings, while the Hokies will regroup after the unexpected defeat.
