Pitt Football Announces 2009 Schedule

Already touted as a Big East and national contender for the upcoming season, Pitt announced its 2009 football schedule on Friday.

Coming off last season’s 9-3 regular season and bowl berth, Pitt will look to build off that momentum while facing a very challenging and attractive 2009 slate.

The Panthers open the season on Sept. 5 against Youngstown State. The team then travels to defending Mid-American Conference champion Buffalo on Sept. 12.

Also highlighting the schedule are two nationally televised Friday night games, including Louisville (Oct. 2 on ESPN2) and Rutgers (Oct. 16 on ESPN).
