Albany travels to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers on the first big Saturday of the NCAA Football slate. After sitting out last season due to transfer rules, Vincent Testaverde is ready to control things from under center for the Great Danes.

Pittsburgh hosts this game to begin the schedule but it must be, in some small way at least, looking forward to hosting #10 Penn State the next week.
Better not look past Albany though!
Albany Great Danes
Testaverde started his career at Texas Tech, where he played one game as a true freshman. He went to Miami after that and rostered for two years despite not really playing much at all, redshirting and taking part on the practice squad in 2016.

So he’s been around and must be hungry to finally get a full season of playing time in after four years of not playing much, or at all. There’s hope Testaverde can jumpstart an offense that failed to do much through the air last season.
Albany’s last conference championship came in 2012 when it was still under Bob Ford and in the Northeast Conference. Since moving to the Colonial, it’s been slow going but the Danes are improving.
Pitt Panthers
As I mentioned at the top, Pitt has that big game looming with Penn State, though perhaps fans ought to just focus on this one more than the upset possibility.
The Panthers finished just 5–7 last season and missed out on a bowl. They played Penn State in the second week last season and lost by nineteen points.

Of course, if you remember, Pittsburgh ended its disappointing season by stunning the #2 team in the country, Miami, by ten points.
It killed the Hurricanes’ chance at the National Championship Playoff and earned Pat Narduzzi a raise and extension.

Pittsburgh. I think the Panthers will improve this season and get back into a bowl game.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: No odds available but a final score prediction is below.
I’ll take Pittsburgh in a fairly low-scoring and close game. The Panthers should control it on the ground and avoid much trouble, though, even if the final score ends up being one score.
