The Backyard Brawl: Pittsburgh (2-0) vs West Virginia (2-0) (3:30PM ET, ESPN)

[TrueOrange]

For the 4th time in 4 years, these historic rivals meet again. As this marks the 108th meeting between the two, Pittsburgh has won 2 of the last 3 meetings between the two schools, including last year’s 38-34 victory.

Each of the last 3 games in this series have been decided by 9 points or less.

(And of course, it’s always worth mentioning the 2007 season-ending matchup that kept West Virginia out of its only shot at a national title for the program).

It’s currently 0-0 at the end of the 1st.

Crazy - it's a great rivalry. Back in the day, Pitt and Penn St used to play regularly too.
