The No. 19 Pittsburgh Panthers (6-0) will face the Syracuse Orange (5-1) at Acrisure Stadium on Thursday, October 24, 2024, in an ACC matchup. Pitt has had nearly two weeks to prepare for their Thursday game against Syracuse at Acrisure Stadium. Last year, Syracuse defeated Pitt 28-13, largely thanks to a strong rushing game. Coach Pat Narduzzi expressed frustration while reviewing that game but anticipates a different approach from Syracuse this time, as they have a new coach, Fran Brown, and transfer quarterback Kyle McCord.
