One of the top college football rivalries resumes on Thursday when Pitt hosts Syracuse at Acrisure Stadium.
Pitt owns the all-time record against Syracuse 45-33-3, dating back to 1916. The Panthers aim for a third straight win against the Orange and this season after victories over UCF and Miami (Ohio) the last two weeks.
After Mason Heintschel threw seven touchdown passes against Miami, the QB had 212 passing yards against UCF. Running back Damon Ferguson Jr. stood out against the Knights with a touchdown.
Syracuse is 1-1 after a season-opening rout of New Hampshire and a narrow home loss last week against Cal to open ACC play. Expect the Orange to come out throwing; QB Steve Angeli had 306 yards through the air last week — his third 300-yard game in six career starts.
