No. 24 Pittsburgh begins its quest for a second straight ACC title when the Panthers host Georgia Tech in their conference opener. Pitt is off to a 3-1 start by relying heavily on junior running back Israel Abanikanda. Abanikanda leads the conference in rushing, averaging 119 yards per game and is coming off a 177-yard, four-touchdown performance in a victory over Rhode Island. The Yellow Jackets will play their first game without head coach Geoff Collins, who was let go early in the week with the team sitting at 1-3. Offensive line coach Brent Key will serve as the interim coach for the remainder of the season.
