Pitt Seeks Bounce-Back Win at Boston College
15 Oct
Summary
- Holden Geriner continues as Pitt's starting quarterback.
- Pitt lost to North Carolina despite forcing turnovers.
- Boston College had a bye week to recover from illness.
The undefeated streak is over for Pitt, but their ACC journey continues with a Saturday road game against Boston College. The Panthers, now 5-1 overall and 2-1 in the ACC, are seeking their sixth consecutive conference road win. Quarterback Holden Geriner is set to start again after sophomore Mason Heintschel sustained an ACL tear.
In their recent 21-17 loss to North Carolina, Geriner completed 71% of his passes in the first half with no turnovers. However, two second-half interceptions contributed to Pitt's defeat, despite the team forcing two turnovers and limiting North Carolina to only 20 rushing yards.
Boston College, holding a 2-3 record, had a bye week following a loss to SMU. The break allowed the Eagles to recover from a significant flu outbreak that affected over 50 players. Linebacker Bodie Kahoun, a transfer from Notre Dame, has returned to the depth chart, potentially bolstering the Eagles' defense, which has eight takeaways this season.
