√ The 2018 season marks the fourth for Pat Narduzzi as Pitt's head football coach. Narduzzi's 28 wins to date are the most by a Panthers coach in his initial four seasons since Jackie Sherrill won 39 contests from 1977-80. The 2018 Hyundai Sun Bowl is Pitt's third bowl appearance under Narduzzi's watch.

√ Narduzzi directed Pitt this season to its first ACC Coastal Division title. The Panthers went 6-2 in ACC play to earn a berth in the 2018 Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game, the first con-ference title game in Pitt history.

√ Pitt closed the 2017 season with a 24-14 victory over No. 2 Miami, the highest-ranked op-ponent the Panthers have ever defeated at home. Pitt snapped the nation’s longest active winning streak at 15 games by beating the Hurricanes.

√ In addition to the Miami victory in 2017, the Panthers also defeated No. 2 Clemson, 43-42, in 2016. It was the Tigers' only loss that season as they finished with a 14-1 record and claimed the College Football Playoff national championship.

√ In 2016, Narduzzi's Panthers defeated two teams that finished in the top 5 of the final 2016 College Football Playoff rankings. Pitt defeated eventual national champion Clemson (43-42) and kept No. 5 Penn State out of the playoff field 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 also was a first team All-American under Narduzzi. √ 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 finished 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 finished 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 finished 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-scor-ing Bears in the fourth quarter, opening the door for 21 unanswered points by Michigan State.

√ In 2013, Michigan State finished No. 3 in the country following a Big Ten title and 24-20 victory over No. 5 Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Narduzzi was named the 2013 recipient of the prestigious Broyles Award, annually presented to the country’s top assistant coach.

√ Narduzzi's decorated defensive players at Michigan State included first 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 first Michi-gan State cornerback to earn that distinction. He also was the school’s first winner of the Jim Thorpe Award, given to college football’s top defensive back.

√ Dennard was a first-round NFL Draft pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2014, the first Spartans defensive back taken in the initial round since 1961. In the 2015 draft, another Narduzzi pupil, Michigan State cornerback Trae Waynes, was a first-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 coordinator 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 defeat-ing nationally ranked Louisville in the GMAC Bowl to finish 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 final two seasons. He began his coaching career at Miami of Ohio, working as a graduate assistant in 1990 and 1991, before earning his first 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 Division II play-off appearances, including the national champion-ship game in 1979, and twice was named the Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year. One of Bill's first coaching posts was as a freshman line coach at Pitt in 1962.

PITT GAME NOTES & ANECDOTES

MORE FRESH FACESSeventeen redshirt freshmen have made their collegiate debuts this season. That total includes nine players on offense (running back Todd Sibley Jr.; receivers Dontavius Butler-Jenkins, Michael Smith and Darian Street; offensive linemen Jerry Drake Jr., Owen Drexel and Gabe Houy; and tight ends Grant Carrigan and Carson Van Lynn), six defensive players (cornerback Paris Ford; defensive linemen Deslin Alexandre and Jaylen Twyman; and linebackers Albert Tucker, Cam Bright and Kyle Nunn) and two specialists (punter Kirk Christodou-lou and placekicker/holder Jake Scarton).

OFFENSIVE NOTESTWO-HEADED RUSHING MONSTER

The Panthers boast a formidable senior tailback tandem in Qadree Ollison and Darrin Hall. Prior to 2018, Pitt never had a 1,000-yard rushing duo in the same season, but Ollison (1,190) and Hall (1,021) are now the first to reach that shared achievement. Pitt most recently flirted with two 1,000-yard rushers in 2010. That year Dion Lewis ran for 1,061 yards, while Ray Graham netted 922. The Panthers are the only team to boast two players among the ACC's top eight rushers (yards per game). Ollison is third at 91.5, while Hall ranks eighth at 78.5.

PANTHERS ON THE RUNPitt boasts the nation's No. 18 rushing attack with an average of 229.5 yards per game. Among ACC teams, the Panthers rank third in rushing, trailing only Georgia Tech's spread-option attack (335.0 avg.) and Clemson (259.8). Pitt is producing at its highest rate on the ground since the 2014 season when it averaged 249.5 rushing yards. That year, sophomore tailback James Conner led Pitt with 1,765 yards and was named a first team All-American and ACC Player of the Year.

OLLISON ROLLIN'Qadree Ollison's rushing production as a senior ranks among the fin-est backs in the ACC and the nation. Through 13 games, Ollison has run for 1,190 yards and 11 touchdowns on 189 carries (6.30 avg.). He is averaging 91.5 rush yards per contest.

ISN'T IT GRAND?Qadree Ollison joined an elite fraternity of Pitt running backs when he reached the 1,000-yard rushing milestone this season. Ollison became only the sixth player in Pitt history to achieve mul-tiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons. He has 1,190 through 13 games this year. As a redshirt freshman in 2015, Ollison netted 1,121 yards en route to earning ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Prior to Ollison, 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 distinguished group are Tony Dorsett (four from 1973-76), Curvin Richards (1988-89), LeSean McCoy (2007-08) and Dion Lewis (2009-10).

Pitt’s first bowl trip resembled a poli tician’s whis tle-stop tour. Wherever the Panthers were at lunch time during their trek west, they practiced. The routine was simple: deboard the train around 11:15 a.m.; explore the day’s town until noon; lunch at 12; walk lunch off, then practice; reboard the train. So it was that Pitt prac-ticed in Dodge City, Al bu quer que and Winslow, Arizona, on the way to Pasadena. The game had a sentimental storyline: the coach against his mentor. Panther head coach John B. “Jock” Sutherland had played for Stanford coach Glenn “Pop” Warner when the latter was at Pitt. Amidst all that, the game, although close, was controlled by Stanford. Pitt grabbed a 6-0 third-quarter lead when Jim my Hagan scooped up a Cardinal fum ble and ran 17 yards for a touch-down. The extra point was missed. Stanford, which made several march es deep into Pitt ter ri to ry, finally scored on an unusual play. It looked like the Panthers would make a defensive stand when they forced a fumble from Stanford fullback “Big Biff” Hoffman near the goal line. But Frank Wilton of the Cardinal picked up the loose ball and carried it into the end zone for a five-yard touchdown. Hoffman, who ran for 82 yards and would be named the Rose Bowl's Most Valuable Player, broke the tie with his extra point. Pitt, a slight favorite entering the game, mus tered very little offense in its first of four Rose Bowl appearances and was outgained by Stanford, 246 to 169. The Panthers' usually potent ground attack produced 78 fewer yards than the Cardinal (203 to 125). It would be the lone loss of the 1927 season for Sutherland's Panthers, who finished the campaign with an 8-1-1 mark. Stanford's Rose Bowl triumph over Pitt capped an 8-2-1 season.

OLLISON LEADS PITT IN 100-YARD EFFORTSQadree Ollison leads all active Pitt players with nine 100-yard rush-ing games in his career. Ollison has two 200-yard games to his credit, including the Nov. 10 contest against Virginia Tech in which he had 235 yards and three touchdowns on 16 carries (13.7 avg.).

HISTORIC DASHQadree Ollison put the finishing touches on Pitt's 52-22 win over Vir-ginia Tech (Nov. 10) with a touchdown run of epic proportions. With the Panthers taking over at their own three-yard line with five minutes remaining, Ollison burst through the line and sprinted 97 yards for a score, using a brutal stiff-arm at midfield to dismiss the final defender. It stands as the longest play from scrimmage—run or pass—in Pitt history. Ollison broke the record held by teammate Darrin Hall, who had a 92-yard touchdown run in Pitt's 24-17 win at Duke in 2017. Ollison's 97-yard run is also tied for the longest in college football this year (with Notre Dame's Dexter Williams).

Making its first bowl appearance since the 2004 season, Pitt failed to take advantage of a masterful defensive performance, falling to Oregon State, 3-0, in the Sun Bowl. Coach Dave Wannstedt's Panthers (9-4) held the Beavers to 273 yards and forced three turnovers. Unfortunately, Pitt’s offense was also bottled up, managing only 178 yards and never penetrating Oregon State’s (9-4) 36-yard line. Pitt appeared poised to pull out a fourth-quarter comeback when T.J. Porter returned a punt 36 yards to the OSU 42 with 12:39 left. A sack and forced fumble by the Beavers’ Victor Butler, however, ended the threat. Pitt’s final scoring opportunity came with 2:02 remaining when Conor Lee attempted a 57-yard field goal, but the kick fell just short of the crossbar. Linebackers Scott McKillop and Austin Ransom led Pitt with 11 tackles each. McKillop also had an interception in the end zone to end the first half. Greg Romeus was named the Jimmy Rogers Jr. Most Valuable Lineman after collecting four tackles and two sacks. Oregon State placekicker Justin Kahut accounted for the lone points of the day on a 44-yard field goal with 2:18 left in the second quarter. It was the lowest scoring bowl game since 1959, a 0-0 tie between Air Force and TCU in the Cotton Bowl.

PITT GAME NOTES & ANECDOTES

THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONGGeorge McLaren held the Pitt record for longest play from scrim-mage (a 91-yard run against Syracuse on Oct. 20, 1917) for 100 years and one day until Darrin Hall finally broke it with his 92-yard jaunt at Duke on Oct. 21, 2017. Now, thanks to Qadree Ollison's 97-yard run against Virginia Tech on Nov. 10, that long-standing mark was broken twice in 15 games (or one year, 21 days).

HALL MAKES MARKDarrin Hall is enjoying the most productive season of his career as a senior. Hall has rushed for 1,021 yards and nine touchdowns on 137 carries (7.45 avg.). His yards per carry average ranks seventh nation-ally and second in the ACC. Hall had a season-high 229 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries (12.1 avg.) in the 23-13 win at Virginia (Nov. 2). He has seven 100-yard games for his career, including two 200-yard efforts.

Led by bowl MVP Alex Van Pelt’s 354 yards passing, Pitt parlayed a Sun Bowl-record 530 yards in offense into a 31-28 come-from-behind victory over Texas A&M. It was a day of firsts for the Panthers. Paul Hackett, named head coach moments before kick off, won his first game as a head coach. It also was Pitt’s first bowl win since the Panthers’ 24-20 Sugar Bowl victory over Georgia in 1982. Van Pelt, who completed 20-of-40 passes and threw for two touchdowns, rallied Pitt (8-3-1) from a 28-24 deficit when he connected with Henry Tuten on a 44-yard touchdown strike with just 2:19 remaining in the game, giving Pitt a 31-28 lead. Curvin Richards rushed for 156 yards on 23 carries and scored the first points of the game with a 12-yard TD. Texas A&M (8-4) countered with a nine-yard touchdown run by quarterback Lance Pavlas, tying the score at 7-7 to end the first quarter. With the score tied at 10 late in the first half, Van Pelt threw an eight-yard touch down pass to Ronald Redmon, giving Pitt a 17-10 halftime lead. Flanker Olanda Truitt caught four passes for 124 yards, including a key 59-yard recep tion that set up Redmon’s score. Carnel Smith finished the game with 10 tackles and Barry Threats had a game-ending interception, which halted Texas A&M’s final drive and secured the Panthers’ victory.

ONE OF THE BEST EVERDarrin Hall's 254 yards at Duke last year rank 10th among Pitt's all-time single-game rushing performances. Additionally, Hall's yardage marked the most prolific rushing game by a Panther since James Conner netted 263 against Duke on Nov. 1, 2014.

CARTER INCREDIBLE IN DEBUTFreshman V'Lique Carter was dazzling in his college debut against Duke (Oct. 27). Carter ran for 137 yards and two touchdowns on just seven carries, an incredible average of 19.6 per rush. His scor-ing dashes covered 31 and 16 yards. Carter is the first Pitt player to achieve a 100-yard rushing game in his debut since Qadree Ollison had 207 yards and a TD on 16 carries as a redshirt freshman against Youngstown State in 2015. Carter is also the first true freshman to rush for 100 yards in his initial game since Dion Lewis had 129 yards and two TDs on 20 carries against Youngstown State in 2009.

RUSH HOURPitt has flirted with the 500-yard rushing mark in two games this season. The Panthers piled up 492 yards and six touchdowns on 36 carries (13.7 avg.) in a 52-22 victory over Virginia Tech (Nov. 10). It marked the second-highest rushing total ever at Pitt, trailing only the school-record 530 yards gained at Army on Oct. 18, 1975. In the Panthers' 54-45 win over Duke (Oct. 27), Pitt compiled 484 yards and four touchdowns on 52 carries (9.3 avg.), the third-highest ground total in school annals. Since Pat Narduzzi's initial season as Pitt's head coach in 2015, the Panthers have rushed for at least 200 yards on 22 occasions. Pitt is 17-5 in those contests. During that same time span, the Panthers have six games with at least 300 rushing yards and are 6-0 in those outings. Pitt is 2-0 when reaching the 400-yard rushing milestone with both of those contests occurring this season.

A player rushing for 100 yards is impressive. Two players on the same team is remarkable. Three is unheard of, but that is how Coach Johnny Majors' Pitt squad knocked off Kansas in the 1975 Sun Bowl. The Panthers' 100-yard rushing trio consisted of running backs Tony Dorsett (142 yards on 27 carries) and Elliott Walker (123 yards on 11 carries), as well as quarterback Robert Haygood (101 yards on 14 carries). Haygood, who also completed 8-of-11 passes for 60 yards and a touchdown, earned the game's Most Valuable Offensive Player award. As a team, Pitt (8-4) rushed for 372 yards and four touchdowns. Walker got the ball rolling with a 60-yard touchdown run in the first quar ter and added a two-yard score in the final period. Dorsett scored two TDs in the second quarter. Gordon Jones scored the Panthers' final touchdown on a seven-yard pass from Haygood. Jones set that last TD up by returning a kickoff 63 yards. Unfairly overshadowed was Pitt's defense, which yielded only a single score through three quarters before giving up a pair of late touchdowns. Leading that effort was nose guard Al Romano, the bowl's Most Valuable Defensive Player. Romano made one of the game's key plays when he stuffed a 4th-and-1 run at the Pitt 16, halting a 64-yard Kansas (7-5) drive in the opening quarter. The triumph in El Paso was Pitt's first bowl victory since a 21-0 decision over Washington in the 1937 Rose Bowl. It also set the stage for the Panthers' run to the 1976 national championship.

O-LINE EXPERIENCEPitt has seven players on the offensive line who own a combined135 collegiate starts. Although the Panthers feature four seniors on the starting unit, three of those upperclassmen (tackle Stefano Millin, guard Mike Herndon and center/guard Connor Dintino) are in their first seasons as Pitt starters. Pitt was dealt a significant blow when sophomore center Jimmy Morrissey was lost for the balance of the season due to an injury sustained in the waning moments of Pitt's 34-13 win at Wake Forest (Nov. 17). Morrissey had started 23 consecutive games at center for Pitt. In the Panthers' final regular-season game of the year, at Miami on Nov. 24, Dintino started at center and sophomore Bryce Hargrove, making his first college start, filled in at left guard. Both players also started at those positions against Clemson in the Dr Pepper ACC Championship Game on Dec. 1.

CAP AND GOWN: THE GRADUATESSixteen players on this year’s Pitt football team have already earned their bachelor’s degrees. With 16 graduates on the roster, Pitt ranks third among all Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools in terms of number of players with their degree already in hand.

KENNY'S CAREER DAYA career performance by Kenny Pickett lifted Pitt past Wake Forest, 34-13, on Nov. 17, clinching the Panthers’ first ACC Championship Game berth. Pickett completed 23-of-30 passes (77%) for 316 yards and three touchdowns. His yardage, completions and TDs were all personal bests. Each of Pickett's touchdown passes came in the second half to help Pitt erase a 10-6 halftime deficit. Two of his scoring tosses came less than three minutes apart: a four-yarder to Rafael Araujo-Lopes and a 63-yard strike to Taysir Mack that put Pitt up 20-10 at the end of the third period. After Wake Forest kicked a field goal to make it 20-13 early in the fourth, Pickett responded with a 23-yard TD pass to Maurice Ffrench, boosting the lead to 27-13 with 7:27 to play and essentially sealing the result.

TDS BY THE “D” Pitt has scored nine defensive touchdowns under Pat Narduzzi, in-cluding one this season (cornerback Dane Jackson's 35-yard fumble return against Syracuse). The Pitt defense has scored 33 touchdowns since the 2001 season. The Panthers are 27-4 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.)

LOW INT TOTAL RANKS AMONG FBS BESTKenny Pickett has only thrown six interceptions in 13 games. As a result, the Panthers rank among the nation's best in fewest inter-ceptions thrown. Pitt ranks 19th nationally and second in the ACC with six INTs. Among ACC teams, the Panthers trail only run-heavy Georgia Tech (four INTs) in that category. Pickett's six interceptions are the fewest thrown in a season by a Pitt quarterback with a minimum of 175 attempts since Tino Sunseri in 2012. Sunseri threw only three interceptions in 13 games (393 attempts) that year. Sunseri actually went 271 attempts between interceptions in 2012. Pickett this season had a string of 143 attempts without an inter-ception broken against Clemson in the Dr Pepper ACC Championship Game. That streak covered six consecutive games (the Oct. 13 Notre Dame game through the Nov. 24 Miami contest).

DEFENSIVE NOTESSTICKY FINGERS

Sophomore defensive end Rashad Weaver ranks fifth in the nation and tied for first in the ACC with three fumble recoveries (tied with Georgia Tech linebacker Charlie Thomas). Weaver picked up two fumbles in the Sept. 8 Penn State game, returning one for 20 yards. He became the first Pitt player to recover two fumbles in a single game since linebacker Mike Caprara also had two against Penn State on Sept. 10, 2016. Weaver added another fumble recovery in the Sept. 15 victory over Georgia Tech. Additionally, junior cornerback Dane Jackson has two fumble recoveries, which ranks third in the ACC and 21st on a national level. Jackson had a 35-yard fumble return for a touchdown against Syra-cuse and also had a strip-and-recovery at Virginia. As a team, the Panthers have collected nine fumble recoveries, which rank seventh in the ACC and 43rd nationally. Other Pitt players with recoveries this season are redshirt fresh-man linebacker Cam Bright (at North Carolina), junior free safety Damar Hamlin (at Miami), senior defensive end Dewayne Hendrix (against Duke) and senior nose tackle Shane Roy (at Miami).

IT'S BEEN AWHILEShould Rashad Weaver recover a fourth fumble this season, it would be the first time in 37 years a Pitt player achieved that feat. The last time it occurred was during the 1981 season when defensive end Michael Woods collected a total of five fumble recoveries.

KNOCK IT LOOSEPitt also has a player among the national leaders in forced fumbles. Cornerback Dane Jackson has four forced fumbles in 12 games played this season. His average of 0.33 forced fumbles per contest ranks second in the ACC and eighth nationally. In the Panthers' 23-13 win at Virginia, Jackson halted a Cavs drive in Pitt territory with a strip and recovery.

REYNOLDS TO THE RESCUESophomore Elias Reynolds has been Pitt's starting middle linebacker the past seven games. Reynolds began the year as the top reserve but was forced into a more prominent role the week of Oct. 8 when se-nior starter and team captain Quintin Wirginis sustained a non-con-tact knee injury in practice that resulted in season-ending surgery. Reynolds made his first career start at Notre Dame (Oct. 13) and has continued to entrench himself in the middle of Pitt's defense. He has totaled 49 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and one sack on the season. Reynolds had a career-high 12 stops and two TFLs in the Panthers' 54-45 win over Duke (Oct. 27).

PITT BLOCK PARTY Pitt has 55 blocked kicks since the 2000 season. That total includes 10 blocks during Pat Narduzzi's tenure as Pitt head coach (since 2015).

ALL-STAR CALIBERQuintin Wirginis was having an All-ACC caliber season before his senior year was cut short due to injury prior to the Oct. 13 Notre Dame contest. Through six games, Wirginis ranked as the Panthers’ most produc-tive defender, leading the team in tackles (41), tackles for loss (7.0), sacks (3.0) and forced fumbles (tied with two). In what would be his final game of the season, a 44-37 overtime victory over Syracuse (Oct. 6), Wirginis was especially impactful. He collected eight tackles, including a six-yard sack, and forced a crucial fumble that was returned for a 35-yard touchdown by teammate Dane Jackson. Wirginis also applied pressure on a blitz that resulted in a game-ending interception in overtime by Therran Coleman.

GROUND DEFENSEUnder Pat Narduzzi, Pitt has held a total of 17 opponents under the 100-yard rushing mark. The Panthers are 14-3 overall in such games, including a 3-1 mark this season. In the 2018 opener, a 33-7 win over Albany, Pitt yielded only 60 yards on 28 carries (2.14 avg.). In their Oct. 13 contest at Notre Dame, the Panthers limited the Irish to 80 yards on 38 carries (2.11 avg.) in a 19-14 setback.

TOP TOTAL DEFENSE PERFORMANCESDuring Pat Narduzzi's tenure as Pitt head coach, the Panthers have held an opponent under 300 yards in total offense eight times, in-cluding twice this season. That feat was most recently achieved in the Panthers' 34-13 win at Wake Forest (Nov. 17), when the Demon Deacons were limited to 285 yards (79 rushing and 206 passing). In Pitt's 23-13 win at Virginia (Nov. 2), the Cavs only mustered 249 total yards (44 rushing and 205 passing).

RARE GLORYRare is the time an interior lineman gets the glory of an interception but it happened in the Panthers' 44-37 overtime victory over Syra-cuse on Oct. 6. Junior defensive tackle Amir Watts had the first inter-ception of his career when he snagged an Eric Dungey pass over the middle. The Panthers parlayed the pick into a field goal and 20-14 second-quarter lead. It was the first INT by a Pitt interior defensive lineman since Chas Alecxih against Buffalo on Sept. 3, 2011.

DAMAR'S LONG-DISTANCE RETURNJunior safety Damar Hamlin made a key play in Pitt's season-opening 33-7 win over Albany when he halted the Great Danes' first drive with an interception at the Pitt 2. Hamlin returned the pick 79 yards, setting up the Panthers' second touchdown for an early 13-0 lead. The 79-yard interception return marked Pitt’s longest since Octo-ber 16, 2010, when Ricky Gary had an 80-yard return for a score at Syracuse.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTESBIG FOOT

Sophomore Alex Kessman has six of the eight longest field goals in school history: a Pitt record-tying 56-yarder, two 55-yard kicks, two 54-yarders and a 53-yard kick. Kessman owns the distinction of hav-ing the most 50-yard field goals in Pitt history with six. Since 1961 (57 years), Pitt has made only 18 field goals of 50 yards or more.

LONGEST EVER AT HEINZAlex Kessman can claim the longest field goal at Heinz Field by either a professional or collegian. On a notoriously difficult track for kick-ers, his 55-yarder against Syracuse (Oct. 6) eclipsed the prior Heinz record of 54 set by Old Dominion’s Jarod Brown in 2013 against Pitt. The longest NFL field goal at Heinz Field is 53 yards by Chris Boswell (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Dan Bailey (Dallas Cowboys).

FOUR OF THE NATION'S LONGEST KICKS Alex Kessman owns four of the top-17 longest field goals made in college football during the 2018 season: a 55-yard kick (Syracuse, Oct. 6), which ranks third; two 54-yarders (Syracuse and on Oct. 27 against Duke), which rank eighth; and a 53-yarder (Virginia, Nov. 2), which ranks 17th.

* There have been 14 field goals of 53 yards at the FBS level in 2018

KESSMAN GETS HIS KICKSAlex Kessman has twice notched a career-high 14 points in a game this season. He initially set the personal milestone in Pitt's 44-37 overtime win over Syracuse (Oct. 6). Kessman was perfect on each of his eight kicks against the Orange (3-for-3 field goals and 5-for-5 PATs). His field goals came from 54, 55 and 45 yards. The 55-yarder set a Heinz Field record (NFL and college). Kessman also accounted for 14 points in Pitt's 54-45 win over Duke (Oct. 27), again converting 3-of-3 field goals and each of his five PATs. His field goals covered 27, 54 and 48 yards. Kessman currently leads the Panthers in scoring with 72 points on 11-of-14 field goals (79%) and 39-of-41 PATs (95%). He has made his last seven consecutive field goal tries.

FFRENCH IS "FFAST" When Pitt visited Notre Dame on Oct. 13, Maurice Ffrench made one of the game’s most dramatic plays when he took the second-half’s opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, giving the Panthers a 14-6 lead. It marked Ffrench's second kick return TD of the season. He also owns a 91-yarder for a score in the opener against Albany. Ffrench is the first Pitt player to have multiple kick return touch-downs in a season since Quadree Henderson had a school-record three in 2016, when Henderson was a consensus All-America return specialist.

OPENING THE 2018 SEASON IN STYLEPitt opened the 2018 season in explosive fashion against Albany when Maurice Ffrench returned the game’s opening kickoff for a 91-yard touchdown. It was the first kick return score of his colle-giate career and the first time on record that the Panthers opened a season with a kickoff return TD. Ffrench's return marked the second time in 27 games Pitt returned the game's opening kickoff for a score. The previous occasion was on Dec. 28, 2015, when Quadree Henderson had a 100-yard return against Navy in the Military Bowl.

CHRISTODOULOU MAKES AMERICAN DEBUTRedshirt freshman punter Kirk Christodoulou, in his first active sea-son at Pitt, is averaging 41.6 yards on 68 punts. He has a season long of 73 yards (at Miami) and has placed 18 inside the 20-yard line. Thirteen of his punts have resulted in a fair catch. Christodoulou had the most active day of his career at Miami, when he punted 12 times for a 43.3-yard average. In addition to his career-long 73-yarder, he had a personal-best five punts inside the 20-yard line. Christodoulou actually has two punts over 70 yards this year. He also had a 71-yarder at Wake Forest (Nov. 17). The 2018 season not only marks Christodoulou's collegiate debut but also his first official game action in America. A native of Australia, Christodoulou enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh in January 2017. He was a standout Australian rules foot-ball player before embarking on his goal to play college football in the United States. Christodoulou worked with the renowned Prokick Australia program that has produced many successful collegiate and NFL punters. Prokick Australia’s “exports” include Pittsburgh Steelers punter Jordan Berry and all three 2016 Ray Guy Award finalists: winner Mitch Wishnowsky (Utah) as well as Michael Dickson (Texas; now with the Seattle Seahawks) and Cameron Johnston (Ohio State; now with the Philadelphia Eagles).

2018 GAME-BY-GAME REVIEW

Pitt rolled past visiting Albany, 33-7, in the 2018 season opener for both teams…the Panthers seized control at the opening kickoff when Maurice Ffrench had a 91-yard return for a touchdown…it was the first kick return score of his collegiate career and marked Pitt’s first game-opening kickoff return TD since 2015 (Quadree Henderson, 100-yard return vs. Navy in the Military Bowl)...it was the first season-opening kick return TD by Pitt on record...Kenny Pickett, making his second career start, finished the first half 13 of 13 for 129 yards and two TDs..his first incompletion came on his initial attempt of the second half when he threw the ball away under pressure…Pickett finished 16-of-22 passing for 154 yards with two TDs and one INT…he additionally rushed for 42 yards on six carries and a score…Pitt piled up 238 yards on the ground, led by Qadree Ollison’s game-high 73 on seven carries (10.4 avg.)…the Great Danes mustered only 60 rushing yards…the Panthers collected five sacks for losses total-ing 33 yards…tackle Keyshon Camp had a personal-high two sacks…Pitt moved to 16-1 all-time against FCS opponents…the Panthers im-proved to 4-0 in opening contests under Pat Narduzzi.

PITT 33 ALBANY 7Sept. 1, 2018 • Heinz Field • 34,486

Penalties, special teams mistakes, turnovers and a poor second-half showing cost Pitt in a 51-6 loss to rival Penn State...in front of a sold-out crowd at Heinz Field, the Nittany Lions won in Pittsburgh for the first time since 1998, snapping Pitt's two-game home winning streak against Penn State...the 99th meeting between the in-state foes saw Pitt (1-1) control play for much of the first half thanks to 214 rushing yards and 19:06 time of possession in the opening 30 minutes...how-ever, the Panthers couldn't capitalize on their opportunities, scoring just six points from three red-zone trips...two first-half touchdowns from KJ Hamler put Penn State (2-0) ahead 14-6 at the intermission, and the Nittany Lions would pull away in the second half...the Panthers were penalized 14 times for 116 yards and committed three turnovers that led to 14 points for the visitors...Pitt tailback Qadree Ollison had his first 100-yard rushing game since 2015, finishing with 119 yards on 21 carries with a score...on defense, MLB Quintin Wirginis posted career-best marks with nine tackles, 2.5 TFLs and a sack.

2018 GAME-BY-GAME REVIEW

Pitt seized a 21-0 intermission lead over Georgia Tech and then held off the Yellow Jackets to claim a 24-19 win in the ACC opener for both teams…Qadree Ollison was a workhorse for Pitt’s offense, rushing for 91 yards and two touchdowns…Kenny Pickett threw for a season-high 197 yards with an interception on 16-of-23 passing…his top target was Rafael Araujo-Lopes, who hauled in a season-high six catches for 45 yards...Pickett also found Taysir Mack four times for 95 yards, including a personal-long 60-yard catch for Mack off a flea flicker to set up Pitt's third touchdown…the Panthers’ defense did an effective job corralling Georgia Tech’s triple option and limited the visitors to just 4 of 13 on third down…Yellow Jackets QB TaQuon Marshall netted a game-high 103 yards but needed 28 carries to do so and only averaged 3.7 yards per rush…Georgia Tech finished with 386 yards, 99 of which came on its final drive of the game…DE Rashad Weaver totaled seven tackles and a fumble recovery, his third of the season…safety Damar Hamlin also had seven stops and a career-high two TFLs…Pat Narduzzi improved to 3-1 against the Yellow Jackets...the Panthers (2-1, 1-0) won their ACC opener for the first time since 2015…Georgia Tech fell to 1-2 overall and 0-1 in the ACC.

Pitt’s struggles against North Carolina continued in a 38-35 loss at Chapel Hill...the Panthers (2-2, 1-1) fell despite holding a 28-21 halftime advantage...the Tar Heels (1-2, 1-0) seized control with 17 unanswered points in the third quarter...a 16-yard touchdown pass from Kenny Pickett to Maurice Ffrench with 3:12 left cut the deficit to three but North Carolina closed out the game with two first down runs...Pitt posted 228 rushing yards and averaged a healthy 6.3 yards per carry...Darrin Hall ran for 84 yards on just six carries, highlighted by a 65-yard TD burst...Qadree Ollison also rushed for 72 yards on 12 attempts with a score...but the Panthers were ultimately upstaged by Tar Heels quarterback Nathan Elliott, who passed for 313 yards and two touchdowns, and tailback Antonio Williams, who netted 114 yards and a pair of scores on the ground...a strong UNC pass rush pro-duced three quarterback sacks and five additional hurries...it was the Panthers’ sixth straight loss to North Carolina—each by single digits.

2018 GAME-BY-GAME REVIEW

Playing its second consecutive road game, Pitt could not contain explosive UCF and dropped a 45-14 decision in Orlando...the Knights, ranked as high as No. 13 nationally, improved to 4-0 on the season and extended the nation’s longest active winning streak to 17 games...quarterback McKenzie Milton accounted for all six UCF touchdowns, throwing four and rushing for two more...he connected on 18-of-34 passes for 328 yards...Milton’s performance spurred the Knights on to 568 total yards...the Panthers were bottled up on offense for most of the afternoon and managed just 272 yards...Pitt’s first touchdown was a special teams gem, an 86-yard punt return by Rafael Araujo-Lopes...the punt return was Pitt’s longest in at least four decades and made it 14-7 in the first quarter...but that would be as close as the Panthers would get as UCF scored 31 unanswered points...Pitt (2-3) hurt its own cause by piling up 11 penalties for 125 yards...two of those penalties wiped out interceptions, including a theft by Damar Hamlin that was returned 88 yards to the UCF 3 before being wiped out by a roughing-the-passer penalty...safety Jazzee Stocker had a career-high nine tackles, while linebacker Oluwaseun Idowu compiled seven stops, two TFLs and a sack.

Pitt survived an exciting tilt with Syracuse—and a 75-minute weather delay—to earn a 44-37 overtime victory on Homecoming...rallying from a 14-0 deficit, Pitt defeated the Orange for the eighth straight time at Heinz Field...a 69-yard run by Qadree Ollison and 35-yard fumble return by Dane Jackson in quick succession erased the early hole, and a 68-yard TD catch by Rafael Araujo-Lopes put Pitt ahead, 27-17...however, Syracuse rallied after the second-half delay, and the Panthers needed a late 45-yard field goal by Alex Kessman to force OT...Kessman also converted a Heinz Field record 55-yard FG and a 54-yarder...Darrin Hall scored the go-ahead TD in overtime before Therran Coleman's first career interception dramatically ended the game...Ollison (192 yards, 1 TD) and Hall (107 yards, 2 TDs) gave Pitt two 100-yard rushers for the first time since 2016...Pitt (3-3, 2-1) improved to 8-9 all-time in OT...the Orange (4-2, 1-2) remained win-less in Pittsburgh since 2001.

2018 GAME-BY-GAME REVIEW

Pitt fought undefeated and No. 5-ranked Notre Dame to the wire before dropping a 19-14 decision in front of a capacity crowd at Notre Dame Stadium...the Panthers (3-4) led after each of the first three quarters, but a 35-yard touchdown pass from Ian Book to Miles Boykin gave the Fighting Irish (7-0) what proved to be the game-winning score with 5:43 to play...Pitt became the first team in 2018 to lead Notre Dame at the conclusion of any quarter...the Panthers marched 88 yards via 17 plays in 9:43 on their first drive, capped by Qadree Ollison's sixth touchdown rush of the season...the Pitt defense maintained that advantage for much of the contest thanks to early red-zone stops and interceptions by Jason Pinnock and Jazzee Stocker—both the first INTs of their collegiate careers...it was the first time this season that Book threw multiple inter-ceptions in a game...defensive end Rashad Weaver also recorded a career-best 1.5 sacks as the Panthers brought Book down three times...Pitt return man Maurice Ffrench took the second-half kickoff 99 yards for a TD, giving the Panthers a 14-6 lead...it was Ffrench's second kickoff return TD of 2018, tying him for the national lead, and marked the longest return of his Pitt career...however, the Irish responded with two touchdown passes by Book to complete the comeback...a pair of missed field goals and fourth-down failures prevented the Panthers from scoring again.

2018 GAME-BY-GAME REVIEW

Pitt leapfrogged Virginia and claimed the ACC Coastal Division lead thanks to a 23-13 victory on a soggy Friday night in Charlottesville...the Panthers (5-4, 4-1) dominated the line of scrimmage, especially in the second half, to knock off the nationally ranked Cavaliers, who entered the game on a three-game winning streak...Darrin Hall keyed Pitt's rushing attack and finished with 229 yards and three touchdowns on just 19 carries...Hall, honored as the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week for his effort, averaged 12.1 yards per carry and scored on runs of 41, 2 and 75 yards...Hall's third TD—Pitt's longest play from scrimmage in 2018—gave the Panthers a 20-13 advantage in the fourth quarter...kicker Alex Kessman added Pitt's final points with a clutch 53-yard field goal with just 4:25 left...Dewayne Hendrix led Pitt's aggressive pass rush, tallying a career-high 2.5 sacks...the Panthers tied their season high with five total sacks of mobile Virginia QB Bryce Perkins...Pitt outgained Virginia by a 254-44 margin on the ground...the Panthers defeated the Cavs (6-3, 4-2) for the fourth consecutive season...it was Pitt's first road victory over a ranked opponent since its upset of No. 3/2 Clemson in 2016.

2018 GAME-BY-GAME REVIEW

A career performance by quarterback Kenny Pickett lifted Pitt past host Wake Forest, 34-13, clinching the Panthers’ first berth in the ACC Championship Game as the outright winners of the Coastal Division...Pickett completed 23-of-30 passes for a career-high 316 yards and three touchdowns...each of his TD passes came in the second half to help Pitt (7-4, 6-1) erase a 10-6 halftime deficit...Pickett's first two scoring tosses came less than three minutes apart: a four-yarder to Rafael Araujo-Lopes and a 63-yard strike to Taysir Mack that put the Panthers up 20-10 at the end of the third period...following a field goal by the Demon Deacons (5-6, 2-5) that made it 20-13 early in the fourth, Pitt responded with an 11-play, 78-yard drive capped by Pickett’s 23-yard touchdown pass to Maurice Ffrench, boosting the lead to 27-13 with 7:27 to play...Jason Pinnock ended Wake Forest's ensuing possession with an interception and then offensive tackle Stefano Millin completed the scoring with a six-yard run off a gad-get throwback...the 21-point margin was Pitt’s largest ACC road win since joining the league in 2013...the Panthers won four consecutive games for the first time since 2015...Pitt dominated the clock with a 19:02 advantage in time of possession (39:31 to 20:29).

Pitt’s four-game winning streak was halted by Miami with a 24-3 defeat in the regular-season finale...facing a Hurricanes defense that entered the game ranked No. 3 nationally in fewest yards allowed (274.5 avg.), the Panthers mustered only 200 yards and a field goal on the day...it was Pitt’s lowest yardage production in five years (199 in a 14-3 win over Virginia, Sept. 28, 2013)...the Panthers failed to score a touchdown in a game for the first time since a 28-6 loss to SMU in the BBVA Compass Bowl on Jan. 7, 2012...Miami's swarming pass rush produced six sacks...the Panthers were also held to a season-low 69 rushing yards on 38 carries (1.8 avg.)...it was 178 yards below Pitt's season average on the ground (247.5)...Pitt (7-5, 6-2) recovered two Miami fumbles near midfield but could not parlay either turnover into points...Kirk Christodoulou was forced to punt 12 times (43.3 avg.)...he launched a career-long 73-yarder and placed five inside the Miami 20...however, a key play of the game was a 65-yard punt retun touch-down by DeeJay Dallas in the second quarter, giving the Hurricanes a 10-point lead...Miami (7-5, 4-4) gained a measure of revenge one year to the day that Pitt scored a 24-14 upset at Heinz Field over the No. 2-ranked Hurricanes in the 2017 regular-season finale.

Playing in its first Dr Pepper ACC Championship Game, Pitt could not overcome Clemson’s Travis Etienne or its own ineffective passing night in a 42-10 defeat at rainy Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte… Etienne, the 2018 ACC Player of the Year, raced for a 75-yard touch-down on the game’s first play from scrimmage…he finished with 156 yards on just 12 carries (13.0 avg.) and was selected the game's Most Outstanding Player…the Tigers piled up 301 yards and four TDs on the ground…Pitt ran for 192 yards, the highest rushing total against Clem-son this season, but only completed 4-of-16 passes for eight yards on the night...in sloppy conditions, the Tigers forced three turnovers, re-sulting in 14 points…midway through the second quarter, however, the Panthers (7-6) were very much in contention…Pitt scored 10 consecu-tive points, including a one-yard TD plunge by Qadree Ollison, to make it 14-10…but two short scoring passes by Trevor Lawrence in the final five minutes of the half gave Clemson a 28-10 advantage and Pitt never threatened again…Darrin Hall had 86 yards on 14 carries, pushing him past 1,000 yards for the year…Hall (1,021) and Ollison (1,190) became Pitt’s first 1,000-yard rushing duo in the same season…the No. 2 Ti-gers (13-0) became the first team to win four straight ACC title games and secured their selection to the College Football Playoff for the fourth year in a row.
