What's at Stake?
The Tigers can keep its hopes of reaching the ACC title game alive with a victory over the suddenly struggling Panthers, who have dropped two straight following a 7-0 start. Pitt is still technically in the mix for the conference championship game but the Panthers have more pressing needs, like fixing an offense that has taken significant steps backward over the last month.
Key Matchup
Pitt's offensive line vs. Clemson's defensive front. The Panthers have struggled to protect redshirt freshman quarterback Eli Holstein, who left last week's loss to Virginia after taking a shot to the head while sliding. While Clemson's pass rush isn't quite as fierce as it has been during its decade-plus run among the ACC's and nation's elite, the Tigers might not have to be to make things difficult against a line that looked disjointed against the Cavaliers.
