Pitt vs Wake Forest Preview
The Demon Deacons are fresh from a dominant 41-10 win over Boston College on November 27. WFU quarterback Sam Hartman threw for 236 yards, three touchdowns and an interception, and he also ran one in to lead the Wake offense. The defense did its part too, intercepting Boston College quarterback Phil Jurkovec twice while holding the Eagles to just 19 yards through the air all game.
Now, Wake will face a formidable Pitt squad that is surrendering 23.3 points a game on defense, and it’s a matchup Demon Deacons head coach Dave Clawson couldn’t be more stoked about, for a very specific reason.
“It’s a thrill for me, career-wise, to be able to coach against a team I grew up rooting for as a young kid,” Clawson said, per The Winston-Salem Journal.
“I just grew up being a huge Pitt Panther fan and I grew up listening to their games on the radio,” Clawson added. “I was a huge Matt Cavanaugh fan and I remember when Tony Dorsett changed his name to Tony Dorsett. And again, I grew up a huge Pitt Panther fan and that’s the team that engaged me to college football.”
On the other side, that Pitt squad is fresh from a 31-14 win over Syracuse on November 27. Pitt QB Kenny Pickett, a Heisman Trophy candidate, threw for 209 yards, four touchdowns and an interception in a solid offensive performance, and he got a ton of help from a dominant defense that gave up just 25 yards rushing on the day.
Wake Forest is putting up 42.9 points a game, and Pitt is right there with them, averaging 42.8 points a game on offense. Thus, this promises to be a high-scoring affair that could turn into a shootout, and it’s clear the respect is mutual between both teams and coaches.
“Dave’s just become a really good friend that we bounce a lot of things off each other through the years and really don’t talk a lot of football, it’s more just coaching,” Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi said about Clawson, via The Sharon Herald. “I’ve followed his career from wherever he’s been to the northeast and Bowling Green and Tennessee and just all the different places he’s been. Tremendous football coach.”
With both squads firing on all cylinders, whichever team wins the turnover battle could very likely come out on top here. These two teams last met in 2018, when Pitt won, 34-13.
