ACC Championship to feature no shortage of scoring

Frankie Richetti Staff Writer

If you had said before the season started that Pitt and Wake Forest — picked to finish fourth and fifth in their respective divisions — would match up in the conference title game, fans probably wouldn't believe you.

But both programs finished at the top of the ACC this season, finishing the year with identical 7-1 records in conference and 10-2 overall marks.

These two teams, both making just their second appearance in the annual title contest, will square off in the 2021 ACC Championship game.

The Panthers last played in the ACC Championship game in 2018, but Clemson, the eventual National Champions, defeated Pitt 42-10.

On the other side, Wake Forest returns for the first time since 2006 — when the Demon Deacons beat Georgia Tech by a score of 9-6.

The Panthers capped off their first 10-win season since 1981 in comfortable fashion, beating Syracuse 31-14 at the Carrier Dome. Unlike Pitt, Wake didn’t go into its regular season finale with a spot in the title game booked. Wake Forest needed a win over Boston College to clinch the Atlantic. It did just that, romping the Golden Eagles 41-10.

Both teams feature prolific offenses, with Pitt and Wake both ranking in the top five in the country in scoring. The battle between the two quarterbacks — Wake Forest sophomore Sam Hartman and Pitt super senior Kenny Pickett — guarantees fireworks. Hartman and Pickett sit among the top 10 in the nation in yards, passing touchdowns, points responsible for and a plethora of other stats. With two of the best quarterbacks in the sport under center, this one has all the makings of a barnburner.

Pitt defense vs. the RPO Pitt’s struggles against the run-pass option this season are well documented. A week three loss to Western Michigan, in which the Broncos shredded the Panther defense with RPOs, is still in the back of the minds of Panther fans.

The Panther defense could be in for another long night Saturday given Wake Forest’s style of RPO is one of the best in the country.

Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson em-

ploys an offense where almost every play they run is a run-pass option.

“We did some RPO stuff at Bowling Green,” Clawson said. “There were some complementary RPO plays but it wasn’t the bread and butter of what we did, and we got here and I just think, at Wake Forest, you have to be a little bit unconventional.”

Wake’s slow mesh RPO is unlike any other —

begin as run plays within this offense. This has helped the Wake Forest offensive line cut down on sacks allowed and will present a distinct challenge for the Panthers’ defensive line.

The Panthers are top five in the nation in both sacks and rush yards per game, making it an interesting chess match. If Pitt can keep the Wake Forest run game in check and force them to be one-dimensional, they will likely walk out of

Kaycee Orwig senior staff photographer the quarterback read is about two seconds longer. In this type of scheme, the offensive line will run block on most occasions, but it also grants Hartman the freedom to take his option of keeping the ball himself or throwing the ball. Much of the talk about Hartman is about his arm, but he can hurt opponents on the ground as well — the sophomore has rushed for a career high 10 touchdowns this season.

When Hartman airs it out though, he is in no shortage of weapons. The Demon Deacons boast a pair of 1,000 yard receivers this season — sophomore A.T. Perry and junior Jaquarii Roberson — who present the best duo of wide outs the Panthers will face all year.

Clawson stated that half their passing plays

Bank of America Stadium as ACC Champions.

That task is a lot easier said than done though.

The Panthers’ defense certainly has their hands full this Saturday night.

Will Pitt try to establish the run?

Wake Forest sits at No. 118 nationally in rushing defense, giving up an average of 209.5 yards per game. The Panther offense will obviously run through Pickett as it should, but it has been more balanced in recent weeks. The running game has carved a niche out amid a prolific passing attack.

The health of Pitt’s top running back, sophomore Israel Abanikanda, is in question. Abanikanda won ACC Specialist of the Week after his 98-yard kickoff return touchdown against Virginia, but an injury forced him to exit the game

early.

The Brooklyn native didn’t travel in Pitt’s win over Syracuse last weekend. But with or without the talented halfback, the Panthers need to establish the run.

Even if Pitt gets behind early, it has to continue to attack one of Wake Forest’s glaring weaknesses. In Abanikanda’s absence against Syracuse, two Panther running backs — first year Rodney Hammond and junior Vincent Davis — filled the void nicely, combining for 28 rushes for 130 yards.

If Abanikanda is good to go, that gives the Panthers even more reason to establish the run.

But no matter the personnel, that should be a priority this weekend.

The turnover battle Like any championship game, the margin for error is extremely low. Given that both teams have high-powered offenses, this feels like the type of game that will be decided by the turnover margin.

That’s a battle that Clawson’s unit usually wins — Wake is tied for No. 5 in the country in turnover margin. Pickett has been nearly flawless all season long, but he has to do a better job of taking care of the ball if the Panthers want to win this one. After going seven games with just one interception, Pickett has thrown six interceptions across the Panthers’ last five games and one in each of his last three games.

As for Hartman, he has thrown 10 picks on the season, including seven over his last four games. Ball security will absolutely be an emphasis, as each miscue will give either explosive offense another chance to put up points.

Prediction: Pitt wins first-ever ACC Championship in thrilling fashion The 2021 ACC Championship is sure to be a shootout. The Demon Deacons’ slow mesh RPO scheme is going to give the Panthers trouble, and they will put up a lot of points as expected. Despite that, Pitt’s success against the run this year will continue, making the Wake offense more one-dimensional than they would like.

OCEAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. — He surveyed the defense in front of him, before throwing a pass to an open receiver.

The receivers who Kenny Pickett, now Pitt’s redshirt senior quarterback, didn’t target came back to the huddle clamoring for him to throw the ball their way — claiming they were open. The quarterback looked around the huddle at the disgruntled receivers before lending them some sage wisdom.

“I have one football,” Pickett said, according to a coach who overheard the exchange. “I’m going to throw it to whoever gives us the best chance to score.”

This wasn’t a conversation he had this season.

Pickett said this to his receivers when he was just 10 years old at Ocean Township High School’s youth summer football camp.

This is when Donald Klein — Ocean’s head football coach and the one who overheard the conversation in the huddle — knew this “kid from the Jersey Shore” wasn’t like anyone he had ever seen at his camp.

“He was just a really good athlete,” Klein said.

“When you see him, initially, you see he’s more advanced than the other kids that age. He’s a smoother athlete. He can throw, he can run, he had good feet.”

Ocean Township High School in Oakhurst, New Jersey, has a fitting name, located just a few miles from the Atlantic Ocean. The 11-square mile town may not be the biggest in the area, but the town gushes in pride at their native son.

The town’s high school football field is a little different from where Pickett plays now at Heinz Field. There’s about 40 yards of bleacher seating behind the home team’s sideline and about 30 yards of seating behind the away team’s sideline. Including standing room, Pickett played his high school football in front of — at most — a couple thousand people.

Before Pickett and the game against Virginia — which Pitt won, clinching the ACC Coastal Division — some of the same people who saw him play in high school paid tribute to their former student and classmate.

Ocean Township Elementary School students and teachers wore shirts that had a Pitt

December 1, 2021

football helmet emblazoned on the front and Pickett’s iconic No. 8 and “Pickett” on the back.

Beneath the number, the shirts read “SPARTANLEGACY” — a tribute to his high school mascot, the Spartan. Klein said the shirts were a tribute to Pickett and all he’s done for his hometown.

“For Ocean Township, they get to see someone who went to the same schools as them, had the same teachers as them and had the same coaches as them come up and light college football and the world on fire,” Klein said. “For young people to be able to see that, they can put themselves in those shoes … he’s really a role model for everybody growing up. He’s somebody that we hold on a pedestal.”

Ocean Township has no other ties to Pittsburgh — it’s nearly a six-hour car ride to catch a glimpse of their former quarterback dominating the ACC. But this small town on the coast of Jersey with the “Big Red Country” moniker now proudly represents the Steel City. From blue and gold lawn flags to Pickett jerseys at school, the Spartans make sure Pickett feels supported in his hometown.

Tony Racioppi, Pickett’s personal quarterback coach who he trains with during the offseason, grew up in Ocean Township. Racioppi said it’s really special to see Pickett excel at the next level and inspire their hometown.

“It’s neat to see,” Racioppi said. “[The younger generation in Ocean] wants to grow up and be him. If that doesn’t say a lot about the player he is but also the kid he is — there’s never been a person that bumps into him that doesn’t think the world of him.”

Since leaving the Jersey Shore in 2017 to join the Panthers, Pickett has evolved into one of the most decorated quarterbacks Pitt fans have ever seen don the blue and gold. But it isn’t just what he’s doing on the football field that makes his town so proud of him. Klein said his character, humility and work ethic are what sets him apart, embodying what it means to be an Ocean Township Spartan.

“To have someone like Kenny Pickett who really is the epitome of the All-American student athlete come from your school and come from your program is a tremendous honor,” Klein said.

Pitt students camp outside WPU for ACC Championship Game tickets

Richie Smiechowski Staff Writer

A line of eager Pitt students camped out in front of the William Pitt Union on Monday evening with tents and blankets, snaking up to the sidewalk lining Fifth Avenue and back around toward the Schenley Quad.

The hundreds of students stood in wait, ready to stay out overnight despite sub-freezing temperatures and an impending snow storm so that they could score one of a limited number of ticket packages — offered by Pitt Program Council (PPC) — to see the ACC Championship game live.

Later in the evening, as students started to settle into the cold and crowded environment, Pitt Athletics treated them to not only slices of warm pizza, but a visit from head football coach Pat Narduzzi. He went on for the next few minutes to take pictures with dozens of the fans in line.

“Don’t lose your place in line!” Narduzzi announced to the unsuspecting crowd, who immediately erupted in surprise.

Nick Jones, PPC’s public relations director, said while there was excitement in 2018 when Pitt football won its first-ever ACC Coastal championship, it was nothing compared to what happened Monday night.

“Three years ago we did the same event and people were lining up at 4 a.m.,” Jones, a senior media and professional communications major, said. “We did not expect people to be showing up at 4:30 p.m. [the day before] prepared to camp out overnight … there was really no way for us to know there would be this turnout, but it’s very exciting to see that people are willing to wait out in the cold to support their team.”

Instead of separately buying each part of their trip down to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the ACC Championship, PPC offered all-inclusive packages to 160 students with game tickets, transportation and overnight lodging for a drastically discounted price.

PPC announced on its website that package prices would vary depending on how many students would sleep in each hotel room. For a group of four, they offered packages at $90 per

s ’ y s s u G

person, groups of three at $137 per person and $160 per person for groups of two. There was a $30 security deposit. They also announced that the packages would be sold in limited quantities and on a first come, first serve basis.

Emily Stephens, a first-year nursing major, said the PPC package provided a far cheaper way to get to the game, making it worth camping out overnight in the freezing cold. Stephens, who spent the night with friends and fellow first-year nursing majors Lydia Browell and Grace Anagnost, was at the WPU hours before the large crowd began to form.

“We’ve been here for about three and a half hours, roughly, since about 5 p.m.,” Stephens said. “They’re only letting in 160 people, it’s the reason we’re here.”

Quincey Johnston, PPC’s executive board director, said the group made adjustments on the fly to accommodate the large number of students who had come early to buy tickets.

“We were able to secure an additional 150 tickets for $75 and no hotel room,” Johnston, a senior natural sciences major, said. “Busses are

a maybe. We’ve been trying to get them, but they’ve been really high demand and hard to get.”

According to Jones, PPC ended up selling out of their first package, which totalled 156 tickets.

Johnston added that they didn’t completely sell out of the second round of tickets, which Pitt Athletics provided. She said because PPC was unable to provide busses, some people were disappointed that they were unable to purchase the first deal.

“In situations like that when there are a limited number of tickets and really high demand, there is always going to be people disappointed,” Johnston said. “That’s just kind of the nature of live events.”

This year’s trip to Charlotte already looks drastically different for the Panthers than it did in 2018, when they took a brutal 42-10 beating from then No. 2 Clemson. Not only does Pitt have three more wins, but it’s been nationally ranked for weeks and in serious contention for a prestigious New Year’s Six bowl bid.

‘They represent all of us’: Pitt community hopes for ACC championship title

Alexandra Ross Staff Writer

For Christian Spears, deputy athletic director of Pitt Athletics, Pitt’s appearance in this weekend’s Atlantic Coast Conference championship game is about more than just the football team — it reflects on the University as a whole.

“This team has worked extremely hard to put themselves in this position,” Spears said.

“They represent all of us. They represent our students, our University, our Oakland community and our City. An ACC championship for Pitt football is a reflection on us all.”

Pitt earned its place in the 2021 ACC Football Championship Game with a 48-38 win over the University of Virginia on Nov. 20. This

pittnews.com

win also cemented the Panthers as the champions of the ACC Coastal Division. They will play Wake Forest, the winner of the ACC Atlantic Division, at 8 p.m. on Dec. 4 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Pitt fans across the country can tune in to ABC to watch the game.

Spears said the achievements of the football program is just one of the reasons Pitt students should take pride in their school.

“We are an elite University in an awesome community that plays football at an elite level, and we should all be proud of it,” Spears said.

Pitt Athletics, Pitt Program Council (PPC) and the Division of Student Affairs teamed up to coordinate a trip to the ACC Championship Game, according to Nick Jones, PPC’s public relations director. Jones, a senior media and

professional communications major, said PPC saw the game as a great opportunity for the three organizations to collaborate.

“It's a very big occasion to go down to North Carolina to see Pitt football play for the ACC championship, and we just wanted to throw an amazing event together, so we decided a collaboration between us three would be a great way to do that,” Jones said.

Jones said attending the championship game in person will offer students a special experience. He said attending the game live will be more fun for students than watching at home.

“There's nothing quite like being at a sporting event live, and especially since we're playing for the ACC Championship, which is a monumental occasion,” Jones said. “We feel like students are going to be very excited to be back

December 1, 2021

in a stadium cheering on the Pitt Panthers and hoping for a win.”

The 160 tickets for the trip went on sale at 7 a.m. Tuesday in the PPC office, which is located in room M-30 of the William Pitt Union. Prices varied based on group size, from $90 per person in a quad occupancy to $160 per person in a double occupancy, in addition to a $30 security deposit.

Each ticket includes round-trip transportation to Charlotte, one night at the Hilton Charlotte University Place Hotel, a ticket to the football game and transportation to and from the game. Students will leave Pitt at 7:30 a.m.

Saturday and return the following morning.

Culture The Colombian Spot Saraya Velez

Beat the stress with holiday markets, activities pittnews.com

opens a new location in Oakland

For The Pitt News After calling the South Side’s East Carson Street home for six years, The Colombian Spot has expanded and found its way to the heart of Oakland with a new location.

The Colombian Spot is owned and managed

by Karen Perdomo and her husband, John Ortiz.

Perdomo said they’re a couple looking to bring Latin food to the restaurant scene in Pittsburgh.

According to Perdomo, the original location opened in 2015 as a “small joint” at the Pittsburgh Public Market, a street market in the Strip District. When the market closed in 2016, Perdomo and Ortiz were forced to close and adjust their plans. They looked to open in Oakland, but couldn’t find an available space at the time.

“The change was dramatic because we went

from having a small shared space inside a market, to leasing a full-service restaurant in the heart of the South Side neighborhood,” Perdomo said. “We opened our doors there in March of 2017, with a full-service menu, and in 2019, we purchased a liquor license, so we now serve beer and cocktails.”

Besides the number of changes they experienced, the duo is pleased to bring their business to Oakland. Perdomo said bringing The Colombian Spot to Oakland would help boost their popularity. She said the several area universities and hospitals, and its diverse setting, makes the neighborhood a huge opportunity for them.

“The advantages we have in the Oakland location is the cultural diversity, and the high foot traffic,” Perdomo said. “Because of the lack of Latin American restaurants in Pittsburgh, we saw a huge opportunity.”

Some of the foods served at The Colombian Spot include empanadas, arepas and tostones.

Many dishes are made from scratch to maintain the flavor and preserve the aspects of Colombian culture. Perdomo describes empanadas and arepas as “artisan” foods. Arepas are a stuffed cornmeal cake dish significant in Colombia and Venezuela. Empanadas, on the other hand, are a pastry that can be baked or fried that can include several different filling choices.

Perdomo said the process of preparing the foods is long, but that’s how The Colombian Spot distinguishes itself from other restaurants.

“Some of our meats are smoked and cooked sous vide for 36 hours, the empanadas and arepas are made by hand, our side dishes including our beans are made from scratch,” Perdomo said. “While we keep our authentic flavor from Colombia, we also try to fuse with other Latin American cuisines and cooking techniques.”

Perdomo said the restaurant’s growth is a “big achievement” since she feels there are no other authentic Latin American restaurants in the area.

Carolina Forero is a manager at The Colombian Spot in Oakland. Before working at the Oakland location, she was employed at the South

Side location for several years. She’s originally from Colombia, and said working at the restaurant makes her feel like she’s at home.

Forero said there are no other places in the area like The Colombian Spot. She said the business prides itself on the authenticity of the food, wide variety of gluten-free options and dining experience. She also said the entire menu is gluten free and everything is naturally flavored.

“We put so much effort in the whole Colombian experience, so the people instantly notice the difference from other places,” Forero said.

“Our whole menu is made from scratch, gluten free, and with natural ingredients, so it’s almost like eating at home.”

Nina Bischoff, a Pitt alumna and resident of nearby Edgewood, runs an Instagram account dedicated to being a Pittsburgh foodie. She said she first visited The Colombian Spot years ago, and it’s different from many other places where she’s eaten.

“It is different from other places I have eaten because of its consistency,” Bischoff said.

Opinions Jack Troy

Top six study tips for finals pittnews.com

With all that cars have taken, why can’t we let them go?

Opinions Editor Cake’s 2001 song “Comfort Eagle” — an unsubtle but witty critique of the American way — opens with an infomercial-esque pitch, with lead singer John McCrea droning, “We are building a religion, we are building it bigger / We are widening the corridors and adding more lanes.”

If we take these lyrics literally, it just about sums up transportation policy in this country.

America is too busy sacrificing the environment and quality of our social fabric at the altar of car culture to pay much attention to how destructive it is. When this car-centric lifestyle hits a bump in the road — pun intended — our policy solution is usually more roads with more

lanes, so that we can accomodate our some 289.5 million registered vehicles. This is especially evident in Pennsylvania, which continues to shovel money into highways at the expense of people and the planet.

Take, for example, the $117.8 million project on I-70 that will expand a section of the interstate from two to three lanes, despite the fact that this will probably do nothing to alleviate congestion. Induced demand, an economic concept describing how demand moves to fill excess supply, dictates that we’d be just as well off having a $117.8 million bonfire.

Or how about the new 13-mile, nearly billion dollar stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike that partially opened in October as part of the Southern Beltway project? This money would be put to much greater use funding pub-

lic transportation, mitigating the effects of climate change or restoring neighborhoods torn apart by highways.

We’re likely to see another flurry of these wasteful projects, given that the bipartisan infrastructure bill contains $110 billion in new funds for the nation’s roads and bridges — compared to $39 billion for public transit. President Joe Biden initially wanted $85 billion for public transit, but the grueling negotiation process whittled this down. The new funds for roads and bridges also have no stipulation requiring they be put toward repairing existing roads, and can just as easily be spent on extending traffic capacity.

It’s remarkable how much money we’re willing to funnel into accommodating cars, despite all they’ve taken from us — these funds

included. We can look within Pittsburgh to see the damage.

Downtown used to be home to a small but vibrant Chinatown packed with businesses and, at its peak, an estimated 500 residents. Unfortunately, the construction of the Boulevard of the Allies in the 1920s cut through the neighborhood, dispersing residents. Today, only one restaurant remains — the Chinatown Inn. The Boulevard cuts through many other Pittsburgh neighborhoods, including Oakland. It’s part of the reason that South Oakland proper feels so disconnected from the rest of the neighborhood.
