One of the best rivalries in sports will be renewed in Week 3 of the college football season, when West Virginia and Pitt clash in the latest edition of the Backyard Brawl.
Pitt hosted the Brawl last year, and it turned out to be one of the better games of the entire FBS season. The Panthers won 38-34 in a scoring bonanza, catapulted by quarterback Eli Holstein's heroics (21-30, 301 passing yards, 3 TDs, 59 rushing yards).
Now Holstein is back to lead Pitt into Morgantown, for what will be the fourth straight year of the Backyard Brawl after an 11-year hiatus.
