Game Storylines• Pitt and Penn State meet for the 99th time in a series widely re-garded as one of college football's classic rivalries. The Panthers have won two of the past three encounters, claiming victories of 42-39 in 2016 and 12-0 in 2000. The Nittany Lions won last year in Beaver Stadium, 33-14.

• At one time an annual Keystone State clash, this historic series began in 1893 and has pitted former high school teammates and even family members against one another. This year's contest marks the third of a four-game agreement that concludes in 2019.

• The Panthers are growing increasingly familiar with hosting highly ranked foes at Heinz Field. Penn State (preseason rank No. 10/9) will be the second Top 10 opponent to visit Heinz in three games. Pitt closed the 2017 sea-son by hosting No. 2 Miami and shattered the Hurricanes' College Football Playoff aspirations with a 24-14 upset.

• An argument can be made that Pitt is going against the grain of Power 5 non-conference schedul-ing trends. Of the Panthers' four non-ACC games in 2018, three are against FBS opponents whose combined record last season was 34-5 (11-2 Penn State, 13-0 UCF and 10-3 Notre Dame).

• Pitt sophomore quarterback Kenny Pickett will be making just his third career start when the Nittany Lions visit Pittsburgh. While Pickett's starting experi-ence is meager, the same cannot be said for his scoring produc-tion. Pickett has accounted for six touchdowns (three passing and three rushing) in his past two games.

• Pitt's rushing production has been a key indicator for victory under Pat Narduzzi. The Panthers are 13-3 in games in which they rush for more than 200 yards. Pitt had 238 in its opening win over Albany. Two years ago, Pitt's 42-39 win over Penn State was fu-eled by 341 yards on the ground.

√ The 2018 season marks the fourth for Pat Narduzzi as Pitt's head football coach. From 2015-17, the Panthers won 21 games, the most victories by a Pitt football coach in his initial three years since Jackie Sherrill (28 wins from 1977-79).

√ 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.

√ Narduzzi is 2-0 as a head coach against teams ranked No. 2. In addition to the Miami victory in 2017, the Panthers 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. √ Twenty-four of Narduzzi's Pitt players have signed NFL contracts. The Panthers had five players selected in the 2017 NFL Draft and three more taken in 2018, marking Pitt’s most draft selections over a two-year span since 2003-04.

√ 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.

TEAM NOTESUNDER ABC'S PRIMETIME SPOTLIGHT

One of college football's most historic rivalries will be showcased in primetime when Pitt and Penn State clash at Heinz Field in front of a national ABC television audience at 8 p.m. This will be the first night kickoff for a Pitt-Penn State game in 31 years. On November 14, 1987, the Panthers defeated the Nittany Lions, 10-0, in an ESPN televised game at Pitt Stadium that started at 7:30 p.m. One of the most famous interceptions in school history—Billy Owens' 69-yard return for a touchdown—clinched the victory with 20 seconds left. For Pitt, this will be the first time it will host an 8 p.m. ABC national telecast in five years. The last occurrence was a 28-21 victory over Notre Dame on November 9, 2013.

RUGGED 2018 SLATEPitt's 2018 schedule figures to rank among the toughest in the na-tion. The Panthers' 12-game slate features eight teams that advanced to bowls last season, including five that finished in the Top 25. Four Pitt opponents finished ranked inside the top 13 in the final 2017 Associated Press poll after notching double-digit win totals: No. 6 UCF (13-0), No. 8 Penn State (11-2), No. 11 Notre Dame (10-3) and No. 13 Miami (10-3). The Panthers' fifth opponent that finished in the final 2017 AP poll is No. 24 Virginia Tech (9-4).

TOUGH NON-CONFERENCE TESTSPrior to the 2018 season, ESPN.com rated Pitt's non-conference schedule as the toughest in the country. "The top spot was a no-brainer," ESPN Senior Staff Writer Chris Low wrote of the Panthers. Of Pitt's four non-ACC games, three are against FBS opponents whose combined record last season was 34-5. Pitt will host historic rival Penn State of the Big Ten on Sept. 8. The Nittany Lions were 11-2 last year. The Panthers will also play on the road at UCF (Sept. 29), which claimed a national title with a 13-0 record in 2017. The Panthers' final non-ACC game of 2018 will be in South Bend against Notre Dame (Oct. 13). The Fighting Irish were 10-3 last season.

PITT GAME NOTES & ANECDOTESCLOSING 2017 WITH A BIG "W"

Pitt punctuated its 2017 season with an exclamation point, defeating No. 2 Miami at Heinz Field, 24-14, to knock the Hurricanes out of the College Football Playoff hunt. The Panthers limited Miami to 232 total yards—and only 45 on the ground—while notching a season-high four sacks. The Hurricanes' rushing output was their lowest of the season while their total yard-age was the second lowest. Offensively, Pitt was ignited by freshman quarterback Kenny Pick-ett, who in his first career start ran for two touchdowns and threw for another to hand Miami its first loss of the season. The No. 2 Hurricanes became the highest-ranked opponent the Panthers had ever beaten in Pittsburgh. Prior to the win over Miami, the highest-ranked foe Pitt had defeated at home was No. 3 Fordham, 13-0, at Pitt Stadium on Nov. 8, 1941. Pitt snapped the nation's longest active winning streak at 15 games by beating the Hurricanes.

A KNACK FOR BEATING NO. 2 Under Coach Pat Narduzzi, Pitt is 2-0 against opponents ranked No. 2. In addition to the 24-14 win over Miami to close the 2017 season, Narduzzi's Panthers knocked off No. 3/2 Clemson, 43-42, in Death Valley on Nov. 12, 2016. It would be the lone blemish of the season for the Tigers, who would go on to win the national title with a 14-1 record.

TOP 3 FOES: BEWARE THE PANTHERS Pitt has actually won four consecutive games against top-3 teams when unranked dating back to the 2002 season. Three of those con-tests have been on the road.

IMPACTING THE CFPIn 2016, Pitt was the only school to have wins over two teams that finished in the top 5 of the final College Football Playoff rankings. The Panthers gave No. 2 Clemson—the eventual national cham-pion—its only loss (43-42) and arguably kept No. 5 Penn State out of the playoff field by defeating the Nittany Lions, 42-39.

129 YEARS AND COUNTINGThe 2018 campaign marks the 129th football season in Pitt history. The Panthers, who played their inaugural season in 1890, have a 718-527-42 all-time record (.574). The program’s rich legacy in-cludes 92 first team All-Americans, 24 College Football Hall of Fam-ers, eight Pro Football Hall of Famers and nine national titles.

YOUR 2018 PITT TEAM CAPTAINSAs selected by their teammates, the captains for the 2018 Panthers are senior offensive lineman Alex Bookser, senior safety Dennis Briggs and senior linebacker Quintin Wirginis. Briggs was also elect-ed a captain as a junior in 2017. He becomes Pitt's first multiple-time captain since defensive tackle Aaron Donald in 2012-13.

TRUE FROSH DEBUTSTwo true freshmen played for Pitt in the season-opening 33-7 vic-tory over Albany. On offense, wide receiver Shocky Jacques-Louis made his collegiate debut, rushing three times for 21 yards and catching one pass for three yards. Defensively, Marquis Williams saw action at cornerback and had a solo tackle.

MORE FRESH FACES Fourteen redshirt freshmen made their collegiate debuts in the Albany opener. That total includes six players on offense (receivers Dontavius Butler-Jenkins and Michael Smith; offensive linemen Jerry Drake Jr., Gabe Houy and Carson Van Lynn; and tight end Grant Car-rigan), six defensive players (cornerback Paris Ford; defensive line-men Deslin Alexandre and Jaylen Twyman; and linebackers Albert Tucker, Cam Bright and Kyle Nunn) and two specialists (punter Kirk Christodoulou and placekicker/holder Jake Scarton).

OFFENSIVE NOTESPICKETT PERFECT IN FIRST HALF OF OPENER

Sophomore quarterback Kenny Pickett, making only his second career start when Pitt hosted Albany, finished the first half 13-of-13 passing for 129 yards and two touchdowns. Pickett's first incomple-tion came on his initial attempt of the second half when he threw the ball away under pressure. For the game, Pickett finished 16 of 22 (73%) for 154 yards with two TDs and one interception. He addi-tionally rushed for 42 yards on six carries (7.0 avg.) and a score.

PICKETT'S MEMORABLE FIRST STARTIn the first start of his college career, then-freshman Kenny Pickett accounted for three touchdowns (two rushing and one passing) in engineering the Panthers' 24-14 upset of No. 2 Miami to close the 2017 season. Pickett completed 18-of-29 passes (62%) for 193 yards with zero interceptions and was also Pitt's second-leading rusher with 60 yards on 13 carries (4.6 avg.). Pickett's six-yard touchdown rush gave the Panthers a 10-7 lead right before intermission. Late in the third quarter he connected with Qadree Ollison on a five-yard shovel pass to increase the advan-tage to 17-7. Pickett's final TD proved to be the clincher—a perfectly executed bootleg on fourth down that the freshman took for a 22-yard score.

ISN'T IT GRAND?Only one player on Pitt's 2018 roster can claim a 1,000-yard rushing season as a collegian: senior 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).

OLLISON’S 100-YARD RUSHING GAMESQadree Ollison leads all active Pitt players with five 100-yard rush-ing games in his career, including a 207-yard effort in his collegiate debut against Youngstown State in 2015. Ollison flirted with the 100-yard mark in two games last year, net-ting 96 yards at Penn State and 91 against Youngstown State. In the 2018 opener against Albany, Ollison rushed for a game-high 73 yards on seven attempts (10.4 avg.) and was not tackled behind the line of scrimmage on any of his carries.

HALL MAKES MARKRunning back Darrin Hall was a workhorse for Pitt's rushing at-tack during the final stretch of the 2017 season. Hall averaged 104 rushing yards over the last five games, totaling 520 yards and eight touchdowns on 97 carries (5.4 avg.). He rushed for more than 100 yards in three of those five contests. On the 2017 season, Hall led Pitt in rushing with 628 yards and nine touchdowns on 128 carries (4.9 avg.). In the 2018 opener against Albany, Hall had four carries for 22 yards (5.5 avg.).

DARRIN DAZZLED AT DUKEDarrin Hall achieved one of the most prolific rushing games in school history while breaking a century-old school record in Pitt's 24-17 victory at Duke last season (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.

A NEW STANDARDDarrin Hall's 92-yard touchdown run in Pitt's 24-17 win at Duke in 2017 is the longest in school history. Hall eclipsed a record that stood for 100 years: George McLaren's 91-yard scoring run against Syracuse on Oct. 20, 1917.

PITT'S NEW/OLD OFFENSIVE LINEAlthough Pitt returns only two starters on its offensive line, the unit's rotation has a veteran look on the surface with four seniors. In the Albany opener, the Panthers' starters up front included left tackle Stefano Millin (making his Pitt debut following a graduate transfer from Kent State) and redshirt freshman right tackle Gabe Houy (who played in his first collegiate game). Houy started in place of senior Alex Bookser (26 career starts), who sat out following a minor ailment. The guards are both seniors who are light on starting experience: Connor Dintino (left guard) and Mike Herndon (right). For Dintino, it was his first career offensive line start and second overall. He started at fullback against Villanova in 2016. Herndon now has two career starting assignments (he made one in 2017). Pitt's "veteran" on its offensive line in the Albany opener was cen-ter Jimmy Morrissey. The sophomore started every game a year ago and now owns 13 career starts.

DEFENSIVE NOTESPLENTY OF PRODUCTION BACK

Pitt returned nine defensive starters for 2018, a reflection of the youthful lineup the Panthers fielded last season. In fact, Pat Nar-duzzi's defense utilized only one senior starter in the final six games of the 2017 campaign. In addition to returning personnel, Pitt welcomes back a high per-centage of its 2017 defensive production.

BRINGING HEATDuring the Pat Narduzzi era, Pitt has recorded four or more quar-terback sacks in a game 14 times. The Panthers have compiled an 11-3 record in those contests where they have compiled at least four sacks. In its 33-7 season-opening win over Albany, Pitt compiled five sacks. It marked the Panthers' highest sack total since also recording five against Duke on Nov. 19, 2016. Sophomore defensive tackle Keyshon Camp had two sacks in the Albany win, the first of his collegiate career.

TDS BY THE “D” Pitt has scored eight defensive touchdowns under Pat Narduzzi, including one last season (freshman cornerback Jason Pinnock's fumble recovery in the end zone against Oklahoma State). In addition to Pinnock, one other returnee for Pitt's 2018 defense has a touchdown: cornerback Dane Jackson, who had a "pick six" against Syracuse in 2016. 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.)

BIG INT 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.

MULTIPLE PICKS FOR PITTThe Panthers picked off two Albany passes in the opener, their first multiple-interception game since Sept. 30, 2017, when Pitt inter-cepted Rice three times in a 42-10 victory. Safety Damar Hamlin had the initial theft, returning it 79 yards to set up Pitt's second touchdown in the opening quarter. It was the second INT of Hamlin's career. Sophomore cornerback Damarri Mathis was responsible for the other pick, a leaping grab in the end zone in the third period. It was the first INT of Mathis' career.

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).

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTESOPENING THE 2018 SEASON IN STYLE

Pitt opened the 2018 season in explosive fashion against Albany when junior receiver Maurice Ffrench returned the game’s opening kickoff for a 91-yard touchdown. It was the first kick return score of his collegiate 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.

RETURN GAME TOUCHDOWNS Since the 2000 season, Pitt has 22 kick returns for touchdowns (12 on kickoffs and 10 on punts). Ten of those have occurred during Pat Narduzzi's tenure. Since the 2015 season, the Panthers have six TDs on kickoffs and four on punts.

BIG FOOTAs a redshirt freshman placekicker last season, Alex Kessman kicked two field goals of more than 50 yards: a 55-yarder at Georgia Tech (Sept. 23), the second longest field goal in school history, and a 56-yarder at Syracuse (Oct. 7), setting a Carrier Dome record and tying the Pitt school mark. Kessman matched the Pitt record set in 2015 by Chris Blewitt.

Since 1961 (57 years), Pitt has made only 14 field goals of 50 yards or more. Six of those kicks occurred during the last four seasons (2014-17).

CHRISTODOULOU MAKES AMERICAN DEBUTRedshirt freshman punter Kirk Christodoulou made his Pitt debut in the season-opening victory against Albany, averaging 46.5 yards on two punts. He had a long of 56 yards and placed both of his punts inside the 20. It was not only 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 sea-son-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 fin-ished 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 totaling 33 yards…tackle Keyshon Camp had a personal-high two sacks…Pitt moved to 16-1 all-time against FCS opponents…the Panthers improved to 4-0 in opening contests under Pat Narduzzi.
