SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah will play a home-and-away series with Big East power Pitt, the two schools announced today.
The first game is scheduled for Sept. 11, 2010 in Salt Lake City. The Utes and Panthers will play in Pittsburgh on Oct. 15, 2011.
Utah's non-conference schedule for 2010 is now complete and figures to be one of the best in school history with three BCS opponents. Along with Pitt, the Utes will play at Iowa State and Notre Dame. San Jose State is the other non-league foe.
"We are excited about being able to put together a series with Pittsburgh," Utah Director of Athletics Dr. Chris Hill said. "It gives our players a chance to compete against a Big East school and play in that part of the country."
"Pitt-Utah is one of those rarely played intersectional matchups that should be very appealing for our fans and national television," Pittsburgh athletic director Steve Pederson said. "Utah has been one of college football's biggest winners over the past several years, giving us a challenging and compelling opponent."
Utah and Pittsburgh have never met in the regular season. The Utes won the 2005 Fiesta Bowl in the only meeting between the two teams, 35-7, completing a 12-0 season behind future No. 1 draft pick Alex Smith.
Utah is coming off a 13-0 season and Sugar Bowl win over Alabama. The Utes finished with a No. 2 national ranking--the best in school history. Pittsburgh was 9-4 in 2008, playing Oregon State in the Brut Sun Bowl.
