No. 17 Pitt and West Virginia will have a long-awaited reunion to start the 2022 college football season on Thursday — but don't expect it to be a happy meeting.

The 2022 version of the Backyard Brawl is the teams' first matchup since 2011, in which the Mountaineers won a third con ECU Pirates Jerseys secutive gam Florida vs. Georgia Rivalry Shirts e over the rival Panthers. But none of those wins likely makes up for the 2007 loss in Morgantown, W.Va., in which a pitiably bad Pitt team shocked the No. 2 Mountaineers 13-9, keeping them from the BCS title game against Ohio State.

The Panthers are the ranked team in this matchup, coming off a season in which quarterback Kenny Pickett and receiver Jordan Addison led Pitt to an 11-3 record and ACC championship. Both are gone now — Pickett to the NFL's Steelers and Ad Michigan vs. Ohio State Rivalry shirt dison to USC.

Speaking of the Trojans, Thursday's game will feature a pair of USC quarterback transfers: Kedon Clark Atlanta University Panthers shirt Slovis, who was named Pitt's starter on Aug. 24; and JT Daniels, who shortly thereafter was named West Virginia's starter after he transferred from Georgia.
