Temple played in the Big East Conference from 1991-2004. The Big East removed the University due to low attendance and the Owls never won more than four games.

Pitt’s non-conference schedule is as follows:

Sept. 1: Youngstown State

Sept. 15: Virginia Tech

Sept. 22: Gardner-Webb

Oct. 6: at Buffalo

Nove. 3: at Notre Dame

Pitt’s Big East schedule:

Home: Louisville, Rutgers, Temple

Away: Cincinnati, Connecticut, Syracuse, USF
