Game Storylines
• Coastal Division champion Pitt visits Syracuse for its 2021 regular-season finale. Boasting a 9-2 overall record, the Panthers are seeking a 10-win regular season for the first time since 1981.

• Pitt and Syracuse have played every year since 1955, when both schools were independents. The Panthers and Orange were Big East football conference members from 1993-2012 before entering the ACC in 2013.

• The Panthers have won 16 of the past 19 games in the series. However, tight games are commonplace. Six of the past nine contests have been decided by single digits.

• Since 2015, Pat Narduzzi has directed Pitt to 35 victories in ACC play, the third-highest win total during that span. Only Clemson (52) and Miami (36) have won more.

• Kenny Pickett is having an All-America caliber season. Pickett ranks fourth nationally with 36 touchdown passes. He is one TD pass shy of matching Dan Marino's Pitt single-season record of 37 set in 1981.

• Pickett has thrown for a school-record 3,857 yards this season, the fifth-highest total in the country. He is poised to achieve the first 4,000-yard passing season in Pitt history.

• Pickett is piloting the nation's No. 2 unit in total offense at 529.1 yards per contest. The Panthers rank third nationally in scoring, averaging 43.9 points a game.

• Wide receiver Jordan Addison is also producing at an All-America level. The sophomore leads the nation with 15 touchdown catches, the most by a Pitt player since Larry Fitzgerald had a school-record 22 in 2003.
