GAME STORY
Pitt plays its final home contest of the season when it hosts Big East foe South Florida at Heinz Field. The Panthers will bid farewell to 10 seniors making their final home appearance.

The game will feature two of the nation's top 20 defenses. Pitt ranks ninth nationally in total defense, yielding just 303.7 yards per game, while USF ranks 20th (320.7 avg.).
The Panthers' defense boasts the country's top tackler in junior linebacker Scott McKillop, who is averaging a national best 12.4 tackles per game.
