ESPN reveals announcers for FSU vs Pittsburgh

The FSU Seminoles are back on the road this week, travelling to play the Pitt Panthers on Friday night. It is FSU's third time this season not playing on Saturday, and ESPN has revealed the announcing crew for the game. Mike Monaco will be the play-by-play announcer, with Jordan Rodgers serving as the color commentator, and Dana Boyle reporting from the sideline at Acrisure Stadium. Unlike FSU, Pitt (6-3, 3-3 ACC) has had plenty of time to prepare for the game. The Panthers were on a bye last week and will look to keep their momentum going after beating the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets back on Oct. 31. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Pitt, who lost starting quarterback Mason Heintschel the week before the losing streak to a season-ending injury. FSU (4-5, 2-4) is looking to win consecutive road games after losing their previous 12. The Seminoles rallied to beat the Boston College Eagles last week, winning 31-24 to end a three-game losing streak of their own. The game between FSU and Pitt is set to start at 7 p.m. ET and will air nationally on ESPN. FSU is 0-1 on Friday this season, losing to the

DoorDash driver missing for 2 weeks after final delivery, foul play not ruled out

A recently laid-off father of two moonlighting as a DoorDash driver disappeared outside Pittsburgh last month — and cops have not ruled out foul play as the missing man’s father suggested he could have been a victim of a “carjacking.” Zachariah Schuck, 32, was last seen on the evening of Oct. 22 making a delivery in the borough of Monaca, the North Sewickley Township Police Department said in a Facebook post Saturday. Schuck’s car was found abandoned on a street in nearby Hopewell Township an hour and a half after his last delivery — around the same time his phone went dark, according to investigators. Pa. officials released a picture of missing DoorDash driver Zachariah Schuck, 32, as they asked the public to come forward with any information that might help locate him.
