Pitt vs. Penn State analysis
The Lines offers this analysis of Pittsburgh vs. Penn State:
“Penn State has scored 79 and 45 points in their first two games. The Panthers better be ready to deal with their in-state rival’s new firepower on offense. Pitt lost to UVA already this year in their only Power 5 game, so this might be a tough afternoon.”
