Game Storylines• Pitt looks to continue its recent momentum when it hosts Coastal Division foe North Carolina for a Thursday night ESPN national telecast. This will be the Pan-thers' 23rd all-time appearance on ESPN's Thursday package.

• The Panthers are coming off a pair of impressive wins, 24-17 at Duke and 31-14 against Virginia. A victory over North Carolina would extend Pitt's winning streak to three games and even its record at 5-5 on the season.

• Narrow margins have been the rule during recent Pitt-UNC series history. The past six meet-ings have been decided by a combined 25 points, an average of 4.2 points per game. The Tar Heels slipped past the Panthers in Chapel Hill last year, 37-36.

• Since 2013, North Carolina is the only team in the Coastal that Pitt has not beaten. The Panthers are 0-4 against the Tar Heels in ACC play. North Carolina also leads the overall series, 8-3.

• Pitt's last victory in the series occurred in the 2009 Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte. Coach Dave Wannstedt's Panthers edged the Tar Heels (coached by Butch Davis), 19-17, on a ield goal with 52 seconds left.

• Junior tailback Darrin Hall has reignited the Panthers' rushing attack by averaging 182.5 yards over his past two contests. Hall had 254 yards at Duke, followed by a 111-yard effort against Virginia.

• Junior all-purpose player Quadree Henderson had a 75-yard punt return touchdown in Pitt's last game against Virginia. Henderson has seven career kick return TDs, two shy of the national record.

• Quadree Henderson leads the ACC and ranks seventh nation-ally in punt returns with a robust 16.1-yard average. North Caro-lina, in contrast, is 112th in punt return defense, surrendering 12.4 yards per return.

√ Pat Narduzzi has directed Pitt to eight regu-lar-season wins in each of his irst two years, something the Panthers had not achieved since 2008-09.

√ In his irst two seasons, Narduzzi fashioned a 16-10 overall mark (11-5 in the ACC). The last Pitt coach to achieve as many victories in his irst two years was the late Sera ino "Foge" Fazio,

who went 17-6-1 over his initial two seasons in 1982-83.

√ In ACC annals, Narduzzi became only the ifth man to begin his head coaching career with at least eight wins in each of his irst two seasons. The others are Charley Pell of Clemson (1977-78), Ralph Friedgen of Maryland (2001-02), Jeff Jagodzinski of Boston College (2007-08) and Jimbo Fisher of Florida State (2010-11).

√ In 2016, Pitt was the only school to have wins over two teams that inished in the top 5 of the inal College Football Playoff rankings. The Pan-

thers gave No. 2 Clemson—the eventual national champion—its only loss (43-42) and kept No. 5 Penn State out of the playoff ield by defeating the Nittany Lions, 42-39.

√ In 2016, Quadree Henderson earned consensus All-America status as a return specialist after leading the country in kickoff return touchdowns (three) and combined kick return yards (1,166). Additionally, guard Dorian Johnson, now of the Arizona Cardinals, was a irst team All-American. √ In his debut campaign at Pitt in 2015, Narduzzi led the Panthers to an 8-4 regular-season record, their best 12-game mark since 2009, and a Mili-tary Bowl invitation. Pitt inished as the runner-up in the ACC Coastal Division with a 6-2 mark, its best conference record ever.

√ Pitt boasted the ACC’s top offensive and defen-sive newcomers in 2015. Safety Jordan Whitehead was named the league’s Overall and Defensive Rookie of the Year. Tailback Qadree Ollison was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year following a 1,000-yard rushing campaign.

√ Narduzzi arrived at Pitt following eight highly successful years as the defensive coordinator at Michigan State under Mark Dantonio. The Spar-tans were the only team to rank in the nation’s top 10 in total defense and rushing defense each season from 2011-14.

√ Michigan State boasted the nation’s top rush-ing defense in 2014, yielding just 88.5 yards per game. The Spartans inished third nationally with 34 turnovers gained and eighth in total defense, holding opponents to just 315.8 yards per con-test.

√ In 2014, the Spartans inished with a No. 5 national ranking and 11-2 record following a stir-ring 42-41 victory over Baylor in the AT&T Cotton Bowl. Narduzzi’s defense shut out the high-scoring Bears in the fourth quarter, opening the

door for 21 unanswered points by Michigan State in one of the most thrilling games of the 2014-15 bowl season.

√ In 2013, Michigan State inished No. 3 in the country following a Big Ten title and 24-20 vic-tory over No. 5 Stanford in the Rose Bowl. In the wake of that championship season, Narduzzi was named the 2013 recipient of the prestigious Bro-yles Award, annually presented to the country’s top assistant coach.

√ Narduzzi tutored an impressive list of decorat-ed defensive players at Michigan State, including irst team All-Americans in cornerback Darqueze

Dennard, safety Kurtis Drummond, linebacker Greg Jones and defensive tackle Jerel Worthy. Dennard was a unanimous All-American in 2013, becoming the irst Michigan State cornerback to earn that distinction. He also was the school’s irst winner of the Jim Thorpe Award, given annu-

ally to college football’s top defensive back.

√ Dennard was a irst-round NFL Draft pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2014, the irst Spartans defensive back taken in the initial round since 1961. In the 2015 draft, another Narduzzi pupil, Michigan State cornerback Trae Waynes, was a irst-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings.

√ Prior to Michigan State, Narduzzi spent three years (2004-06) as defensive coordinator under Dantonio at Cincinnati, helping the Bearcats to a pair of bowl invitations.

√ In 2003, Narduzzi was the defensive coor-dinator at Miami of Ohio under the late Terry Hoeppner. The RedHawks stormed to a 13-1 record that season, capturing the Mid-American Conference championship and defeating nation-ally ranked Louisville in the GMAC Bowl to inish No. 10 in the Associated Press poll.

√ Narduzzi served as linebackers coach at Northern Illinois for three seasons (2000-02). NIU won a pair of MAC divisional titles during his tenure and in 2002 had the league’s top rushing defense. From 1993-99, Narduzzi coached at his alma mater, Rhode Island, serving as the Rams’ defensive coordinator his inal two seasons. He began his coaching career at Miami of Ohio, working as a graduate assistant in 1990 and 1991, before earning his irst full-time position as receivers coach for the 1992 season.

√ Narduzzi was a starting linebacker under his father, the late Bill Narduzzi, as a freshman at Youngstown State University in 1985 before transferring to Rhode Island, where he became a three-year starter for the Rams from 1987-89.

√ Bill Narduzzi was head coach at YSU from 1975-85. He led the Penguins to two NCAA Divi-sion II playoff appearances, including the national championship game in 1979, and twice was named the Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year.

OFFENSIVE NOTESDARRIN DAZZLES

Junior running back Darrin Hall achieved one of the most proli ic rushing games in school history while breaking a century-old school record in Pitt's 24-17 victory at Duke (Oct. 21). Facing a Blue Devils rush defense that ranked No. 16 nationally (yielding 108 yards per game), Hall rambled for a career-high 254 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged a sensational 10.6 yards on 24 carries. Hall ripped off touchdown sprints of 79 and 92 yards. The latter score marked the longest touchdown run in Pitt history, eclipsing the 100-year-old record of 91 established in 1917 by George McLaren. Hall's third TD, a four-yard score with 10:48 left, gave Pitt the lead for good at 21-17.

BACK TO BACK CENTURY GAMESDarrin Hall followed up his impressive 254-yard rushing perfor-mance at Duke with another strong outing in the Panthers' 31-14 victory over Virginia (Oct. 28). Hall ran for 111 yards and a touch-down on 25 carries (4.4 avg.) against the Cavaliers. It marked the third 100-yard rushing effort of his career. On the year, Hall leads the Panthers with 473 yards on 80 carries (5.9 avg.). His ive rushing touchdowns are tied for the team lead.

RUSH HOURSince Pat Narduzzi's initial season as Pitt's head coach in 2015, the Panthers have rushed for at least 200 yards on 14 occasions. Pitt is 12-2 in those contests. During that same time span, the Panthers have four games with 300 rushing yards and are 4-0 in those outings. The Panthers have twice rushed for more than 200 yards in 2017, winning both of those contests. Pitt compiled a season-high 336 yards on 57 carries at Duke (Oct. 21), keying a 24-17 ACC road victory. Additionally, the Panthers had 208 yards on 53 attempts in their season-opening 28-21 win over Youngstown State (Sept. 2).

Pitt’s frustrations against North Carolina continued with a 37-36 de-feat in the ACC opener for both teams…it was the Panthers’ fourth consecutive loss to the Tar Heels…Pitt fell to 0-5 all-time in games played in Chapel Hill…this one was particularly heartbreaking as Pitt held a 13-point lead with under six minutes to play…North Caroli-na would rally behind the arm of quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who threw for 453 yards and ive touchdowns… Trubisky threw two TDs to Bug Howard in the inal 5:24, including a two-yard score with two seconds left…Nick Weiler’s extra-point kick provided the winning margin and gave North Carolina (3-1, 1-0) its irst and only lead of the game…the winning march was a 17-play, 63-yard drive that in-cluded three fourth-down conversions…Pitt (2-2, 0-1) piled up 281 rushing yards, led by a 107-yard effort from Quadree Henderson…the Panthers, however, went three-and-out on their inal two posses-sions, opening the door for the Tar Heels’ rally.

ISN'T IT GRAND?Only one player on Pitt's 2017 roster can claim a 1,000-yard rushing season as a collegian: junior running back Qadree Ollison. Ollison netted 1,121 yards in 2015 en route to earning ACC Offen-sive Rookie of the Year honors. Ollison will attempt to become just the sixth player in Pitt history to achieve multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons before his eligibility expires. The last player to accomplish the feat was James Conner, who had 1,092 yards in 2016 and 1,765 yards in 2014. The other Panthers in this elite group are Tony Dorsett (four from 1973-76), Curvin Rich-ards (1988-89), LeSean McCoy (2007-08) and Dion Lewis (2009-10). Through eight games this year, Ollison has 330 yards on 74 carries.

SEASON AVERAGE 32:31 27:29

SOPHOMORE ELDER STATESMANSophomore Ben DiNucci is now the most experienced active quarter-back on Pitt's roster. Original senior starter Max Browne was ruled out for the season after sustaining an injury at Syracuse on Oct. 7. DiNucci has played in nine career games, including eight this sea-son. He has four starts under his belt: Sept. 23 at Georgia Tech, Oct. 14 against NC State, Oct. 21 at Duke and Oct. 28 against Virginia. On the season, DiNucci has completed 55% of his passes (73 of 133) for 895 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions. He has also rushed for a touchdown and thrown a 2-point conversion pass (both at Penn State).

PICKETT ENTERS ACTIVE DUTYFreshman quarterback Kenny Pickett, who enrolled at Pitt in Janu-ary, has played in two contests and now serves as the top backup behind sophomore starter Ben DiNucci. On the season he has thrown for 74 yards on 6-of-14 passing (43%). Pickett has additionally run for 18 yards on four carries.

BROWNE'S BIG DAYBefore his season-ending injury, Max Browne had the most proli ic game of his collegiate career in Pitt’s 42-10 victory over Rice on Sept. 30. Browne hit 88% of his passes (28 of 32) for 410 yards and four touchdowns with zero interceptions. He was 14 of 16 for 247 yards in the irst half with the two incompletions coming on drops. Browne had a third incompletion due to a drop in the second half. Browne’s passing yardage was the highest by a Pitt player since Tom Savage threw for 424 at Duke on Sept. 21, 2013. Additionally, Browne’s 28 completions were the most at Pitt since Savage also threw 28 at Syracuse on Nov. 23, 2013.

RARE COMPANYMax Browne is one of only nine players in Pitt football history to throw for more than 400 yards. Prior to Browne's 410-yard passing effort against Rice, the last Panther to achieve the feat was Tom Sav-age, who threw for 424 against Duke in 2013. Overall, Browne's 410 passing yards rank eighth all-time in Pitt annals.

O'NEILL FINDS THE END ZONEBrian O'Neill has started 34 consecutive games at tackle for the Panthers. However, the junior's contributions have gone beyond the conventional duties of an offensive lineman. In addition to paving the way for Pitt's backs, he actually is highly ef-fective carrying the ball himself, evidenced by his three career carries for 39 yards (13.0 avg.) and two touchdowns. O'Neill was showcased as a ball carrier again on Oct. 14 against NC State when he took a throwback lateral 10 yards to the cusp of the goal line. One play later, tailback Darrin Hall plunged in from a yard out to make it 14-14. In 2016, O'Neill carried the ball twice and scored touchdowns each time. His initial carry came on a throwback lateral that went for a 24-yard TD in the Panthers' 37-34 win over Georgia Tech. O'Neill reached the end zone again on an end-around play against Virginia Tech that

13


resulted in a ive-yard score. He had two carries for 29 yards on the year (14.5 avg.) and even threw two passes (both incomplete). Originally a tight end who moved to tackle during the 2015 offsea-son, O'Neill's unconventional contributions earned him SB Nation's 2016 "Piesman Trophy," the only award in college football that honors offensive and defensive linemen who run, pass or catch the ball. He was also a 2016 All-ACC selection at tackle by the coaches (second team) and media (third team).

ALL PURPOSE DYNAMOQuadree Henderson and the legendary Tony Dorsett are the only players in Pitt history to reach 2,000 all-purpose yards in a season. Henderson achieved his total in 2016, compiling 2,083 yards. Dorsett had a Pitt-record 2,217 all-purpose yards during his 1976 Heisman Trophy campaign.

HENDERSON CENTURY RUSHING GAMESListed as a wide receiver, Quadree Henderson actually owns two career 100-yard rushing games. During the 2016 season, Henderson rushed for a career-high 107 yards at North Carolina and 103 against Syracuse. He also had a 95-yard rushing game against Oklahoma State last year.

JESTER'S NO JOKESenior wideout Jester Weah was a catalyst in Pitt's 42-10 victory over Rice (Sept. 30). Weah compiled a season-high 137 receiving yards on just ive catches (27.4 avg.) and added a 55-yard touchdown catch. Weah reached 100 receiving yards again in the Panthers' Oct. 14 game with NC State, totaling 106 on seven receptions (15.1 avg.) with a 33-yard score. For his career, Weah has four 100-yard receiving games. On the season, Weah has a team-high 489 receiving yards and is sec-ond with 29 receptions (16.9 avg.). His four touchdown catches also lead the Panthers.

TDS BY THE “D” Pitt has scored eight defensive touchdowns under Pat Narduzzi, including one this season (freshman cornerback Jason Pinnock's fumble recovery in the end zone against Oklahoma State). The Pan-thers had four defensive TDs in 2016 to lead the ACC and rank eighth nationally. In addition to Pinnock, three other members of Pitt's 2017 defense have touchdowns: cornerback Dane Jackson, cornerback Avonte Maddox (two) and safety Jordan Whitehead (two). The Pitt defense has scored 32 touchdowns since the 2001 season. The Panthers are 26-4 when scoring at least one defensive TD in a game during that span. (The losses occurred against Notre Dame and Navy in 2015, and Oklahoma State in 2016 and 2017.)

WHITEHEAD A TWO-WAY TERRORJunior Jordan Whitehead is a two-time All-ACC performer at safety. His impact, however, has not been limited to defense during his career. Whitehead has moonlighted as an occasional offensive player and this season is the Panthers' fourth-leading rusher with 147 yards on 20 carries (7.3 avg.). He has one touchdown (a 35-yard run at Syra-cuse) and also a 2-point conversion rush (also against the Orange). During the 2016 season, he rushed for 98 yards on nine carries (10.9 avg.). That year he was actually a starter on both sides of the ball in the Panthers' 45-31 win at Virginia. For his career, Whitehead has 41 carries for 367 yards (8.9 avg.) and three scores.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTESHENDERSON TAKES IT TO THE HOUSE

Junior all-purpose standout Quadree Henderson has two punt return touchdowns this season: an 80-yarder at Georgia Tech (Sept. 23) and a 75-yarder against Virginia (Oct. 28). His two punt return TDs are tied for the ACC lead (with Virginia Tech's Greg Stroman) and rank second in the nation behind Washington's Dante Pettis (four). Henderson now has a Pitt-record seven total kick return touch-downs for his career. He has four kickoff return scores and three on punt returns.

NCAA MARK IN SIGHT With seven career kick return touchdowns, Quadree Henderson is in striking distance of the NCAA record of nine, recently established by Washington's Dante Pettis, whose scores all came on punt returns. The ACC record is eight and held by Clemson's C.J. Spiller (1 punt, 7 kickoffs from 2006-09). A further re lection of the "rare air" Henderson is in, there are only eight other players who have compiled eight total kick return scores: Cliff Branch, Colorado, 1970-71 (6 punts, 2 kickoffs); Johnny Rodg-ers, Nebraska, 1970-72 (7 punts, 1 kickoff); Derek Abney, Kentucky, 2000-03 (6 punts, 2 kickoffs); Chad Owens, Hawaii, 2001-04 (6 punts, 2 kickoffs); C.J. Spiller, Clemson, 2006-09 (1 punt, 7 kickoffs);

Phillip Livas, Louisiana Tech, 2007-10 (4 punts, 4 kickoffs); Adoree’ Jackson, Southern California, 2014-16 (4 punts, 4 kickoffs); Janarion Grant, Rutgers, 2013-present (3 punts, 5 kickoffs).

PITT PUNT RETURN TDS Since the 2000 season, Pitt has only 10 punt return touchdowns, including three by Quadree Henderson (an 80-yarder at Georgia Tech and 75-yarder against Virginia this season, and a 65-yarder vs. Duke in 2016). Henderson is the irst Pitt player to have multiple punt return touchdowns since Darrelle Revis had two over the 2005-06 seasons.

UNPRECEDENTED IMPACT ON RETURNS Since the 2000 season, Pitt has just 11 kickoff returns for touch-downs and Quadree Henderson is responsible for four of them. No other Pitt player during that span has more than one. In the Panthers' 2015 Military Bowl game against Navy, Henderson took the opening kickoff 100 yards for a score—Pitt's irst 100-yard kickoff return since 1990 (Ricky Turner vs. West Virginia). Hen-derson had his second 100-yard return at Miami during the 2016 season.

2017 GAME-BY-GAME REVIEW

Pitt built a 21-0 intermission lead but needed overtime to fend off Youngstown State, 28-21, in the season opener for both teams…Jester Weah’s leaping 11-yard touchdown grab on the opening possession of OT provided the winning points…on YSU’s subsequent possession, redshirt freshman safety Bricen Garner ended the game by picking off Hunter Wells in the end zone…the victory marked the Panthers’ irst in overtime since a 36-33 win at Notre Dame in 2008…Pitt had

dropped three consecutive OT contests before beating YSU…Qadree Ollison rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns, while Quadree Henderson ran for 77…Pitt compiled 208 yards on the ground but was outgained in total offense, 418 to 348…in his Pitt debut, Max Browne completed 17-of-24 passes for 140 yards and the winning strike to Weah…the Panthers incurred zero penalties in the game, the irst time they achieved that feat in six years (2011 at Louisville)...

Pitt moved to 3-0 in season-opening games under Pat Narduzzi…the Panthers improved to 15-1 all-time against FCS foes.

Making its irst trip to Beaver Stadium since 1999, Pitt fell to rival Penn State, 33-14...the loss snapped Pitt’s two-game winning streak in the series...the Panthers had won the prior two encounters (2000, 2016)...three turnovers and red zone struggles plagued the Panthers (1-1)...Pitt held statistical advantages in total yards (342 to 312), irst downs (24 to 14) and time of possession (38:20 to 21:40)...two early interceptions helped Penn State build a 14-0 lead as Trace McSorley converted the miscues into a pair of touchdown passes to Mike Gesicki...Pitt scored just one TD on four trips inside PSU’s 20-yard line...backup quarterback Ben DiNucci found the end zone for Pitt on a 3-yard run in the fourth quarter...Qadree Ollison rushed for a game-high 96 yards on 15 carries (6.4 avg.)...Ollison also had 30 yards receiving and a two-point conversion catch...redshirt freshman kicker Alex Kessman booted his irst two ield goals as a collegian...defensively, linebacker Oluwaseun Idowu had a team-high seven tackles (including a personal-best three TFLs) and also forced a fumble.

Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph threw for 497 yards and ive touchdowns as the No. 9/8 Cowboys (3-0) cruised past host Pitt,

59-21…the 38-point defeat marked the Panthers’ worst loss ever at Heinz Field…Rudolph completed 72% of his passes (23 of 32) but did throw his irst interception of the season, ending his FBS-best active streak of 216 attempts without a pick…Avonte Maddox was respon-sible for the INT at the goal line in the third quarter…the Cowboys rolled up 676 yards, a Pitt opponent record (eclipsing Virginia Tech’s 675 in 1993)…for the second consecutive game, Pitt quarterback Ben DiNucci came off the bench and directed the Panthers to their initial touchdown…DiNucci led two second-quarter scoring drives and in-ished the game 13 of 25 for 228 yards with a TD and two INTs…his attempts, completions and yardage marked career bests…Pitt fell to 1-2 with both losses coming to teams ranked in the Top 10...it was the irst time since 2006 that Pitt had faced consecutive Top-10 opponents.

Pitt failed to contain Georgia Tech’s spread-option attack and fell 35-17 in the ACC opener for both teams...the loss dropped Pitt to 1-3 for the irst time since 2005...the loss also marked the Panthers’ third straight, their irst three-game losing streak since 2014...the Yellow Jackets (2-1) rolled up 436 yards on the ground with KirVonte Ben-son rumbling for 196 and elusive QB TaQuon Marshall accounting for 112...Pitt, in contrast, only mustered 37 rush yards and 235 overall...the Panthers forced four turnovers—all fumbles—but failed to con-vert any of Georgia Tech’s miscues into points...sophomore QB Ben DiNucci made his irst career start, completing 12 of 19 for 110 yards with one touchdown, a 28-yard strike to Qadree Ollison that gave Pitt a 7-0 lead to open the game...Pitt’s only other TD was an 80-yard punt return by Quadree Henderson in the second quarter that tied it at 14-all...it was Henderson’s second career punt return TD and sixth re-turn for a score overall...redshirt freshman placekicker Alex Kessman nailed a 55-yard ield goal—one yard shy of the school record—as the irst half expired...LB Oluwaseun Idowu had a game-high 13 tack-les and added a fumble recovery.
