NC State coach Dave Doeren is undefeated against two ACC programs since he arrived in Raleigh in 2013: Pitt and Virginia. The Wolfpack already beat the Cavaliers in Week 2, improving the 13th-year coach’s mark to 4-0 against that squad, and now the program will put his 2-0 mark against the Panthers on the line on Saturday afternoon (3:30 p.m., ACCN) at Acrisure Stadium.  Before the two sides square off for the third time under Doeren, let’s take a look at what this year’s Pitt squad brings to the table in this week’s scouting report.
