Later this week marks Pitt’s 27th appearance on ESPN Thursday Night Football in history, which includes two Thanksgiving Day games against West Virginia. The Panthers are 11-15 all-time in such matchups.
Pitt has won five consecutive Thursday night games. Pitt is 5-3 under Pat Narduzzi in Thursday night games.
Pitt is 7-6 in Thursday night home games at Acrsiure Stadium/Heinz Field, including four in a row.
The Panthers have only played Syracuse once on Thursday night, a 24-17 win for the Orange at old Pitt Stadium.
Pitt has had other Thursday games, most notably the 2010 season opener against Utah, the 1982 season opener against UNC, and a few PSU games were held on Thanksgiving Day, plus the Georgia Tech makeup game in 2020 was a Thursday night. I was more looking at Pitt's history in these night games.
