The biggest injury news for the matchup is Pitt quarterback Eli Holstein will miss the game due to a leg injury. Holstein, an Alabama transfer, was carted off the field in the first quarter of the Panthers game against Louisville on Nov. 23 after taking a sack. He was spotted later in an air cast.

Boston College defensive tackle Ty Clemons picked off a pass in the middle of the Pitt backfield and rumbled down the field for a score, bringing a roar not only from the fans but from his sideline, too. Clemons scored on a 55-yard pick-six, Reed Harris made a leaping 28-yard TD grab over a defensive back and BC beat Pittsburgh 34-23 on Saturday.

Pitt’s regular season ended Saturday in Chestnut Hill, Mass., but really in another state of misery. A series of mishaps, penalties and even more injuries led to the Panthers’ losing streak reaching five in a row in a 34-23 Boston College victory.
