Coming off a loss to their bitter rival Miami Hurricanes, 28-22, the Florida State Seminoles are staying in Tallahassee this week for an ACC matchup.
Welcome to Pitt week. The Panthers, who are also 3-2, are looking to continue their win streak after defeating Boston College 48-7.
When Mike Norvell was asked about facing the Hurricanes, per FSU Seminoles on Sports Illustrated, he said, “Pittsburgh’s run pressures are really good. I think that coach Narduzzi, coach Bates, I mean, those guys have been doing it a long time.”
Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi had a similar comment, stating, “We’re facing the most athletic quarterback we’ve faced this year. They’ve got big 220-pound backs, so we’re gonna have to get them on the ground. They don’t go down easy. So, it’s a gigantic challenge for us.”
