Pitt played its whole 11-game timetable the previous fall, with just a single deferment. The Georgia Tech game in the long run was played Dec. 10, however the group decided not to go to a bowl game.

This spring, players, mentors and staff had been tried for Coronavirus once every week, Narduzzi said before the respite.
