Game Thread: Boston College vs. Pitt (4:00PM, ACCN)
Boston College (2-1) will look to get back in the win column as they host the Pitt Panthers (3-1) at Alumni Stadium. Pitt has one of the best defenses in the country, and a relentless pass rush, which should be a challenge for the BC offense today. BC is going to need to prevent leaving points on the board and mental errors if they are going to win their third game of this young season.
