Penn State vs Pittsburgh stream, keys, predictions, and more
Predictions
This game is going to be gritty from the start and Pitt will be fired up to have the Nittany Lions in their house.
Pitt is going to make a big play early, similar to last week with the opening kick off return touchdown. Whether that be a return, touchdown, or turnover, the Panthers are going to put fear into Nittany Lions fans.

Ultimately I think Penn State comes away from this game clean with Tracy McSorley having over 250 total yards next to his name. He’s being encouraged to use his legs more, which will open up room in the middle of the field for his receivers.
K.J. Hamler had a big debut last week, and I expect another touchdown out of him. The same can be said for Miles Sanders, the heir to Saquon Barkley’s throne in Happy Valley, with two touchdowns in some form or fashion.
Final Score: Penn State 42 Pitt 20
Penn State is too talented on both sides of the ball, and last week was a wakeup call and reminder that they’re not automatically in the playoffs.
Penn State will walk away 2-0, just like they did last year against Pitt, going into next weeks game against Kent State. Pitt will drop to 1-1 going into their third-straight home game, this one being against Georgia Tech before back-to-back road games against North Carolina and ranked UCF.
