Pitt’s hopes for a successful ACC season greatly depend on the performance of running back Desmond Reid. Scheduled to play against No. 12 Miami, Reid returns after missing last week’s significant victory over Georgia Tech due to a lower-body injury.
Desmond Reid’s Injury Status
Reid had suffered the injury during a previous game against Notre Dame. Although he is expected to participate against Miami, his limited practice raises concerns about his capacity to carry a full workload.

Impact on Pitt’s Championship Aspirations
Pitt, currently ranked No. 22 with an 8-3 record and 6-1 in the ACC, is on the brink of securing a spot in the ACC championship game. A victory against Miami is crucial. Additionally, they need either SMU or Virginia to lose in their respective games on Saturday to guarantee advancement.
Looking Ahead
The outcome of the game against Miami will not only impact Pitt’s championship hopes but also test the team’s depth and resilience without Reid’s full contribution. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Reid can perform at his best despite the recent setback.
