Tennessee vs Pitt Game Preview

Why Pitt Will Win

The Panthers got pushed, and they came through with a great 38-31 win over West Virginia to start the season.

The running game was held in check, but Kedon Slovis had a terrific debut – throwing for over 300 yards – and now he gets to throw on a Tennessee secondary that’s fine, but needs to prove it can handle itself against a high-powered passer.
