THE SETUP
Pitt gets the chance to rebound from its loss to Miami last week against a Duke team that's the only team in the ACC Coastal division without a conference win. But, the Blue Devils are 3-1 at home this season and have one of the conference's top running backs in Mataeo Durant. That could be a real test for the Panthers' rushing defense that ranks at the top of the ACC and and 15th in the country.
The Panthers have the chance to advance to 7-2 on the season and 4-1 in the conference before facing North Carolina and Virginia in what will be division-deciding games to see who will go to the ACC Championship Game. But before that, the Panthers have to defeat a very beatable Duke team.
