Pitt Hosts Florida State as Interim Coach Stockstill Seeks Second Straight Road Win
The result will determine whether Florida State keeps pace for a bowl berth or hands momentum to Pittsburgh.
Overview
- The Panthers will host the Seminoles at Acrisure Stadium at 7 p.m. ET on Friday with the game airing on ESPN.
- Florida State fired Mike Norvell on Nov. 1 and named Rick Stockstill interim coach, and Stockstill guided the Seminoles to a 31-24 road win in his debut.
- FSU enters at 4-5 overall and needs two more wins for bowl eligibility while Pitt is 6-3 and seeking a strong November finish at home.
- Florida State is coping with season-ending losses to leading rusher Ousmane Kromah and tight end Duce Robinson that have weakened its offense, and Pitt plans to start Holden Geriner at quarterback in his fourth career start.
- Betting markets list Pittsburgh about a 3.5-point favorite with an over/under near 52.5 and SportsLine simulations lean to the Under in this matchup.
