Pitt football has lost three straight games, but Saturday's matchup against Georgia Tech could be exactly what the Panthers need to get back on track.

In Episode 39 of the Pittsburgh Football Podcast, Chris previews Pitt's Halloween night matchup against the Yellow Jackets and explains why this could be a massive opportunity for the Panthers to regain some momentum before their bye week.

Holden Geriner is coming off an encouraging performance against Miami, and Georgia Tech's defense just surrendered 399 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns to Boston College. Can Pitt establish its running game and build on Geriner's recent improvement?

On the other side of the ball, Pitt's defense has struggled mightily on third downs and against explosive passing plays. Can the Panthers get back to their defensive identity against Georgia Tech quarterback Alberto Mendoza?

We also discuss Pitt's running back injury concerns, Blue Hicks' impressive receiving numbers, the ongoing debate surrounding Pat Narduzzi's future, and the biggest games around the ACC this weekend.

Plus, game predictions and a look around the ACC!
