Axe: Thursday is the biggest Syracuse-Pitt football game since when? Does it matter? It’s big

Syracuse, N.Y. — The stakes in the moment are big enough for Syracuse football’s Thursday night matchup against No. 19 Pittsburgh at Acrisure Stadium, but a little historic perspective can’t hurt.
This is the first time Pitt has started a season 6-0 since 1982, when Dan Marino was under center and getting Heisman votes.
