Game Week: Pitt Looks to Bounce Back at Duke
11/1/2021 11:54:00 AM | Football
RV/#25 PITT (6-2, 3-1 ACC) vs. DUKE (3-5, 0-4 ACC)
November 6, 2021 • Noon (ET)
Wallace Wade Stadium (40,004/Natural Grass) • Durham, N.C.
ACC Network • Pitt Panthers Radio Network
Game Storylines
• Pitt looks to stay atop the ACC's Coastal Division when it visits Duke. The Panthers lead the division with a 3-1 conference mark. Virginia (which visits Heinz Field on Nov. 20) is second in the Coastal standings with a 4-2 ACC record.
• Pitt is 3-0 on the road this season. The Panthers have two road dates remaining (Duke and Nov. 27 at Syracuse). Pitt last finished with an undefeated road record in 1987 (4-0).
• Since 2013, the Panthers own a 6-1 series advantage over Duke in ACC play. (Pitt leads the overall series, 15-9.) Five of the seven ACC games have been decided by single digits, including each of the last three.
• Since 2015, Pat Narduzzi has directed Pitt to 32 victories in ACC play, the third-highest win total during that span. Only Clemson (50) and Miami (34) have won more.
• Quarterback Kenny Pickett is having an All-America caliber season. Pickett ranks third nationally in total offense (367.5 yards per game), fourth in touchdown passes (26) and fifth in passing yards (344.4 yards per game).
• Pickett is piloting the country's fourth-highest scoring offense at 43.9 points per contest. The Panthers trail only Ohio State (47.2), Alabama (45.9) and Coastal Carolina (44.4) for the nation's team scoring lead.
• Receiver Jordan Addison is meriting strong Biletnikoff Award consideration with his production. Addison is second in the nation with an ACC-high 10 touchdown catches.
• A victory at Duke would give the Panthers a 7-2 overall record. It would be Pitt's best nine-game start since the 2009 season when Dave Wannstedt's team opened 8-1.
