PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers will make it three straight night games in a row when they visit Virginia Tech in Week 5.

The ACC announced this week that the Panthers and Hokies will meet at 8:00 p.m. at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia for their conference contest in two weeks. ACC Network will broadcast the game, the third time they've shown Pitt on the conference's flagship network this season. 

Pitt visited Morgantown, West Virginia for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff against the Mountaineers in the Backyard Brawl, an eventual 17-6 loss on national television. They'll host No. 17 North Carolina under the lights in Week 4 for the conference opener, with ACC Network carrying the broadcast. 

The Panthers currently sit at 1-2 and will look to right this ship this week when they begin ACC play against the Tar Heels.
