• Sixteen players on Pitt's roster are Florida natives, second only to the Panthers' 35 players who hail from Pennsylvania.

• Pitt seeks its first win over Miami since 2017, when it shocked the No. 2-ranked Hurricanes, 24-14, at Heinz Field.
• Pitt's last road victory over a top-15 ranked foe occurred on Nov. 12, 2016, when the Panthers defeated No. 3/2 Clemson in Death Valley. It was the eventual national champion's only defeat that season.
• Pitt leads the ACC and ranks second nationally in rushing defense, allowing just 52 yards per contest. Miami is averaging 196.5 yards on the ground to rank fifth in the ACC and 23rd nationally.
• The Panthers boast one of college football's top pass rushes. Pitt is averaging 5.0 sacks per game to lead the ACC and rank third in the nation. Defensive ends Patrick Jones II (seven sacks) and Rashad Weaver (4.5), a Fort Lauderdale native, are Pitt's top sack artists.
