The FSU Seminoles (4-5, 2-4 ACC) are on the road this Friday for an ACC showdown against the Pittsburgh Panthers. The game is set to start at 7 p.m. ET and will air on ESPN.
It will be Rick Stockstill's second game as FSU's interim head coach, with them beating the Boston College Eagles last week, snapping a three-game losing streak. The Seminoles need to win two of their final three games to make a bowl game, something they have not done since the 2023 season.
Pitt (6-3, 3-3) is a much tougher matchup for the Seminoles, who will be without their top three running backs. The Panthers have one of the best defenses in the ACC and excel at stopping the run, the strength of FSU's offense. The Panthers do have concerns at quarterback, with Holden Geriner
listed as questionable on the Thursday injury report.

FSU vs. Pitt prediction, pick
FSU snapped its historic road losing streak last week against Boston College, but they will have a much tougher time on Friday against Pittsburgh. While this game is certainly winnable, the Seminoles are extremely injured and coming in with less time to prepare, something the Panthers will use to their advantage to win a competitive game.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 27, FSU 24
